Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
3.

What is pressure, and what does it have to do with the sun not collapsing?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
4.

Give an example of pressure on earth being balanced

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
5.

Give an example of pressure on earth being unbalanced and the consequences of that imbalance.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
6.

review - name the four fundamental forces in the universe?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
7.

Of those four, which is the weakest?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
8.

Match the layer of the sun to an aspect of that layer

Draggable itemarrow_right_altCorresponding Item

Chromosphere

arrow_right_alt

Energy is released by fusion

corona

arrow_right_alt

Energy is moved by photons being released, reabsorbed, and released again

Radiative zone

arrow_right_alt

Energy is carried by moving atoms rather than photons

Core

arrow_right_alt

transition layer where gases move from being transparent to opaque

Convection zone

arrow_right_alt

thin layer with strong red-emission lines that can be seen during an eclipse

photosphere

arrow_right_alt

third hottest layer of the sun that has lowest amount of energy because of its low density

9.

When discussing planets and dwarf planets before, we said that a planet had hydrostatic equilibrium when it was mostly round. what is involved in a star having hydrostatic equilibrium (in addition to being round).

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
15.

Why are neutrinos important for understanding solar processes? A) B) They provide insights into nuclear reactions happening in the sun's core C) D) They measure the sun's rotation speed

  • What happens in each layer of the sun

  • how fusion works

  • what is hydrostatic equilibrium?

  • What is the relationship between temperature and pressure?

  • how e=mc^2 works in terms of powering the sun

  • What is a neutrino?

  • I've got this

  • I'm fuzzy

  • Im so confused.
