What is the hottest point on the sun?
the core. the core.
When the sun at the center what is it called?
Nuclear fusion. We call the activity stellar nucleosynthesis. The proton-proton chain results in the fusion of helium from the hydrogen that makes up most of the sun. A link is provided to the Wikipedia articles on the sun (specifically its core) and on the proton-proton chain.
What do you call the innermost and hottest part of the sun?
The middle.
What is the hottest part of the solar system?
The hottest part of the solar system would certainly be within the sun. The core of the sun is estimated to exist at a temperature around 15,000,000 K. The solar envelope surrounding the core averages more around 4,000,000 K. The photosphere (the layer we get out light from) is a much cooler 6000 K. The next layer out, the chromosphere is actually hotter - around 7000 K due to the energy it absorbs. The outermost layer, the corona, varies from 1,000,000 K to 3,000,000 K - hotter than the photosphere and chromosphere, but still cooler than the core and solar envelope. The hottest part of each of the planets is at their core. None of the planets have cores at temperatures approaching that of the core of the sun. For example, the core of the Earth is estimated to be only 5700 K - not even as hot as the coolest part of the sun). Jupiter may be around 24,000 at its core, Saturn around 12,000 K, and Uranus and Neptune around 5000 K. Despite being closest to the sun, temperatures on the surface of Mercury only rise to a (compared to solar temperatures) balmy 427 °C (700 K) at closest approach to the sun on the side facing the sun. Venus actually has higher surface temperatures - close to 735 K due to the thick atmosphere and runaway greenhouse effect.
Is the earth core hotter than the sun?
The Earth's core is aboutthe same temperature as thesurface (photosphere) of the Sun. That temperature is around 5,500 Celsius.Bear in mind that there is still some uncertainty in the estimated temperature of the Earth's core.(Recent work suggests the Earth's core may be hotter than previous estimates.)Note that the Sun does not have a uniform temperature.It varies tremendously, from the core out to the "corona".The Sun's core is much hotter than the Earth's core.
What is the hottest part of the sun called?
The core is the hottest part of the sun. It about 15 million degrees.
Is the Sun's core its hottest point?
the sun's core is the hottest part of the sun
What is the Hottest layer of sun?
The hottest part of the sun is the core(center). It is 15,000,000 degrees Celsius.
What part of the sun is the hottest?
The very center of the core, where nuclear fusion is occurring is the hottest part of the sun. It's millions of degrees!
What is the hottest region of the sun?
The hottest region of the sun is the core.
What is the sun's hottest region is the?
The hottest region of the sun is the core.
What are the parts and functions of the sun?
core - is the inner most part of the sun. core is also the hottest most part of the sun. corona -is the outer most part of the sun. cromosphere -is pruduces a red light.
What is the core of the sun made out of?
The core of the sun is made up of very dense and very hot gases that are in the plasmic state. The core is considered to be the hottest part of the sun and the hottest area within the entire solar system.
What is the hottest point on the sun?
the core. the core.
The hottest part of the sun?
The very center of the core, where nuclear fusion is occurring; millions of degrees.
How hot is the sun's corona?
The sun's corona is the hottest part of the sun apart from the core. It is about 2,000,000° at a distance of half a million miles from the surface.
How hot is the corona?
The sun's corona is the hottest part of the sun apart from the core. It is about 2,000,000° at a distance of half a million miles from the surface.
