5. KNOWING THE SUN
I. The atmosphere of the Sun is composed of three areas:
I. Photosphere
II. Chromosphere
III. Solar Corona
II. The internal structure of the Sun is composed of:
I. Inner Core
II. Radiative
III. Core
IV. Radiative Core
III. If you weigh 100 lbs, your weight on the Sun would be 2707 lbs. (multiply
your actual weight by 27)
The temperature inside the Sun can reach 15 million degrees Celsius. Surface temperature: 5500 C
At around 4.5 billion years old, the Sun has already burned off about half of its store of Hydrogen. It has enough left to continue to burn Hydrogen for approximately another 5 billion years.
