hydrogen | | In a few Billion years our star will become a __________ |
coronalmassejections | | Our Sun (and all active stars) emits ______________ |
radiativezone | | the sun is larger than the Earth (T or F) |
solar flare | | the crown, above the chromosphere, seen only during eclipses |
auroras | | the only time we can see the chromosphere |
sunspots | | flame like structures extending above the photosphere for short periods of time |
eleven | | Our sun is made of 70% ______________ and 28% Helium |

core | | about how many times wider is the sun compared to the earth? |
radiation | | sudden burst of electromagnetic energy and particles from a magnetic loop in an active region |
granulation | | the color of our sun |
photosphere | | the color sphere. Temps can reach 20,000 K |
chromosphere | | a continuous flow of particles that blows past the earth |
