How are astronomers able to explore the layers of the sun below the photosphere?
Sunspots, prominences and flares are all manifestations of magnetic fields, and these are indicators of processes going on deeper within the Sun. Also, just as earthquakes can help geologists study the Earth's interior, so can "sun-quakes" provide info about the Sun's interior.
What is it about the Sun's corona that astronomers don't understand?
the corona is much hotter than the layers of the sun that are closer to the sun's interior
How long do astronomers estimate the sun will last before it begins to die?
Astronomers think the sun will die in 2012
What is used when astronomers measure the distance from the sun to the earth?
Parallax is the method that astronomers use to measure the distance from the sun to the earth.
Did astronomers believe that the sun was part of earth?
No.
How long have astronomers been trying to find out what the sun orbits?
For two or three hundred years, astronomers have had a fair idea the the Sun is not the center of the Universe.
Why can astronomers predict eclipses?
Astronomers can predict eclipses because they understand the movements of the Earth, Moon, and Sun in space. By tracking their positions and orbits, astronomers can calculate when the Moon will pass in front of the Sun (solar eclipse) or when the Earth will pass between the Sun and the Moon (lunar eclipse). This knowledge allows astronomers to forecast eclipses with accuracy.
Why do astronomers use special filters to look at the sun?
Astronomers use special filters to observe the sun because the sun emits high-intensity light that can damage the eyes and sensitive equipment. These filters help to reduce the brightness of the sun and allow astronomers to safely study its features, such as sunspots and solar flares.
What astronomers believe will happen to our sun after it leaves the main sequence?
Astronomers predict that after the Sun exhausts its nuclear fuel and leaves the main sequence, it will expand into a red giant, engulfing the inner planets of our solar system, including Earth. Eventually, the Sun will shed its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula, leaving behind a small, dense core known as a white dwarf. The white dwarf will gradually cool and fade, marking the end of the Sun's life cycle.
What scientist studies the function of the sun?
Astronomers study celestial bodies, helio astronomers specifically study suns.
Which two elements make the suns center?
The sun is like a ball of hot gases with no hard surfaces. Astronomers have found that there are layers in the sun. The part of the sun that gives off th light energy we see is called the photoshere. It is the innermost layer of the of the Sun's atomosphere. The layer above the photoshpere is the chromosphere. The outermost layer is called the corona.
How do astronomers observe the sun at different wavelengths?
Cus they is BOSS
