1. The Sun is an ordinary middle-sized star
2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core
3. The visible surface of the Sun is called the photosphere
4. A thin cool layer, the chromosphere, allows us to determine
what the sun is made of
5. A very thin but very hot outer layer is called the corona
6. Convection in the sun is revealed by granulation
7. Features on the sun include sunspots, prominences, spicules
and faculae
8. Disturbances on the sun affect electrical and electronic
equipment on Earth
 Distance: 150 million km (93 million miles) =
8.3 light minutes
 Diameter: 1.4 million km (870,000 miles) =
109 x Earth
 Mass = 330,000 x Earth
 Bulk density = 1.4 gm/cc
 Surface temperature = 5800 K
 Rotation: 25 days at equator, 34 at poles
1. The Sun is an ordinary middle-sized star
 Ideal Gas Law:
 Pressure x Volume is proportional to Temperature
 Pressure = weight of overlying material
2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core

 Core: 0-20% of radius. Energy produced by
nuclear fusion
 Radiative Zone: 20-70% of radius: Energy
travels as thermal radiation
 Tachocline: Boundary of Radiative Zone:
Exterior slips over interior
 Convective Zone: Outer 30% of Sun: Energy
moves by convection
2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core
 Energy output: 90 billion megatons/second
 Energy output = 6 microwatts/kg – less than a
candle
 Human body outputs 1.2 W/kg – 200,000 times
greater
 By volume: Core of Sun = 0.9 W/m3
; Human body =
1200 W/m3
.
 Trying to duplicate sun’s energy output not practical
on Earth; We try to use other fusion processes
 Energy takes 10,000 – 100,000 years to reach
surface
2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core
 4 H  He
 4H = 4 x 1.00794 = 4.03176
 He = 4.002602
 Difference = 0.029158 = 0.7% = 1/140
 Converted to energy via E=mc2
 Once you get over being freaked out by
Einstein, this is middle school math
2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core
 E=mc2
 m = kg
 c = m/sec = 300,000,000
 E = joules (one Watt = 1 J/sec)
 Sun’s energy output = 3.8 x 1026
W
 How much mass is that per second?
 m = E/c2
= 3.8 x 1026
/(300,000,000)2
= 4 billion
kg/sec
2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core
 Sun converts 4 billion kg of matter to energy
every second
 Matter conversion = 1/140 of original mass
 Sun converts 560 billion kg of H to He (5.6 x
1011
kg) every second
 Mass of Sun: 2 x 1030
kg
 2 x 1030
kg/ 5.6 x 1011
kg/sec = 3.6 x 1018
sec = 114
billion years
2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core
 Photosphere: The Visible Disk
 More transparent than air
 We can see a couple of hundred kilometers deep
 Chromosphere
 Thin cooler atmosphere
 How we know what stars are made of
 Corona
 Very thin but very hot
 Why so hot is a mystery
 Limb Darkening
 Granulation
 Sunspots
 Faculae
 Plages: hot clouds in the Chromosphere
 Flares
 Prominences

Sun

  • 2. 1. The Sun is an ordinary middle-sized star 2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core 3. The visible surface of the Sun is called the photosphere 4. A thin cool layer, the chromosphere, allows us to determine what the sun is made of 5. A very thin but very hot outer layer is called the corona 6. Convection in the sun is revealed by granulation 7. Features on the sun include sunspots, prominences, spicules and faculae 8. Disturbances on the sun affect electrical and electronic equipment on Earth
  • 3.  Distance: 150 million km (93 million miles) = 8.3 light minutes  Diameter: 1.4 million km (870,000 miles) = 109 x Earth  Mass = 330,000 x Earth  Bulk density = 1.4 gm/cc  Surface temperature = 5800 K  Rotation: 25 days at equator, 34 at poles 1. The Sun is an ordinary middle-sized star
  • 4.  Ideal Gas Law:  Pressure x Volume is proportional to Temperature  Pressure = weight of overlying material 2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core

  • 6.  Core: 0-20% of radius. Energy produced by nuclear fusion  Radiative Zone: 20-70% of radius: Energy travels as thermal radiation  Tachocline: Boundary of Radiative Zone: Exterior slips over interior  Convective Zone: Outer 30% of Sun: Energy moves by convection 2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core
  • 7.  Energy output: 90 billion megatons/second  Energy output = 6 microwatts/kg – less than a candle  Human body outputs 1.2 W/kg – 200,000 times greater  By volume: Core of Sun = 0.9 W/m3 ; Human body = 1200 W/m3 .  Trying to duplicate sun’s energy output not practical on Earth; We try to use other fusion processes  Energy takes 10,000 – 100,000 years to reach surface 2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core
  • 8.  4 H  He  4H = 4 x 1.00794 = 4.03176  He = 4.002602  Difference = 0.029158 = 0.7% = 1/140  Converted to energy via E=mc2  Once you get over being freaked out by Einstein, this is middle school math 2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core
  • 9.  E=mc2  m = kg  c = m/sec = 300,000,000  E = joules (one Watt = 1 J/sec)  Sun’s energy output = 3.8 x 1026 W  How much mass is that per second?  m = E/c2 = 3.8 x 1026 /(300,000,000)2 = 4 billion kg/sec 2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core
  • 10.  Sun converts 4 billion kg of matter to energy every second  Matter conversion = 1/140 of original mass  Sun converts 560 billion kg of H to He (5.6 x 1011 kg) every second  Mass of Sun: 2 x 1030 kg  2 x 1030 kg/ 5.6 x 1011 kg/sec = 3.6 x 1018 sec = 114 billion years 2. The sun creates energy by nuclear fusion in its core
