Folio Star and Galaxy

The document is about stars and galaxies. It discusses the characteristics of the sun including its size, temperature, structure and phenomena like solar flares. It also describes stars, their classification based on temperature, brightness and size. Galaxies are grouped into elliptical, spiral and irregular shapes. The universe contains thousands of millions of galaxies scattered throughout outer space.

 The structure of the sun

CHROMOSPHERE
 Bright red layer gas below the CORONA
corona  Outer most layer of gas in the sun’s
 Only visible during eclipse of atmosphere
the sun  Corona forms a circle of white light
 Temperature varies between
around the sun
10000 and 500000 degree
celcius  Only visible during eclipse the sun
 Temperature is about 1.5 million
degree celcius
PHOTOSPHERE
 Compact layer of gases seen to be shining with yellow
light from earth
 Photosphere’s surface appears turbulent because gas
form the sun’s core is release to its surface
 This layer is responsible for radiating heat and light
from the sun

 Nuclear reaction  The core’s


 Consists of hydrogen occurs in the core all temperature is

 corona and chromospheres can only be seen
during an eclipse of the sun

 An explosion of hot gas that shoots out from the


PROMINENCE sun’s chromospheres with shiny bright light
 Can be seen near the edge of the sun during eclipse
of the sun
 Prominence emits charged particles and ultraviolet
rays into outer space
 A strong explosion of gases that happen
suddenly into outer space
 Also emits rays like gamma and x- rays
 This phenomena occurs for only a few SOLAR FLARES
minutes or a few hours but it released a
great deal of energy.

SUNSPOT

 Dark spots on the surface of the sun’s


photosphere
 Has a lower temperature (4000 degree Celsius)
than its surroundings (6000 degree Celsius)

 SUNSPOT

 SOLAR FLARES

 PROMINENCE
