What else can I help you with?
What is found on the surface that proves the sun rotates?
Scientists were able to prove that the Sun rotates by observing the movement of sun spots over time.
What scientists found the sun?
Scientists did not find the sun. The sun has been visible to mankind since the dawn of time.
Features of the sun's surface?
Scientists have discovered many features of the sunâ??s surface. Some of these features include a rigid iron surface, sunspots, prominences, and solar flares.
If a scientist is studying the suns corona what will he find?
One interesting thing that has been found about the corona is that it's much hotter than the Sun's surface - while the Sun's surface has a temperature of about 6000 K, the corona has a temperature has a temperature around a million K. This obviously can't be caused by regular heat transfer; scientists are still researching exactly how the energy gets from the Sun to the corona.
Did scientists really find out that the sun stood still for a day?
No. This is a myth - that scientists found this, not the fact that it did. In any case, this would only be an appearance anyway as it would have to be the earth itself standing still and not the sun for the sun to 'appear' to stand still.
How do you know what goes on under the surface of the Sun?
Astronomers create mathematical models that use the laws of physics, the Sun's observed composition and mass, and computers to predict internal conditions. By measuring Doppler shifts, we observe vibrations of the Sun's surface that are created deep within the Sun.
Three features found on or above the surface of the sun?
Sun spots on. Flares on and above. Solar wind above.
How scientist gather information in sun?
Scientists gather information about the sun using telescopes and spacecrafts equipped with specialized instruments such as spectrographs, coronagraphs, and magnetographs. They study the sun's surface, atmosphere, and magnetic field to gain insights into its behavior and processes. Data collected from these observations help scientists understand phenomena like solar flares, sunspots, and solar wind.
List the three most famous scientists of the Hellenistic Age?
Aristarchus found out the planets revolved around the sun, not he sun revolved around Earth.
The study of the oscillations of the surface and interior of the sun is known as?
The study of the oscillations of the surface and interior of the sun is known as helioseismology. Helioseismology allows scientists to probe the internal structure and dynamics of the sun by analyzing the frequencies of these oscillations. It provides valuable insights into the sun's composition, rotation, and magnetic field.
How can you use sunspots to tell that the sun is rotating on its axis?
Sunspots can be used to determine the rotation period of the Sun because they appear to move across the Sun's surface as it rotates. By tracking the motion of sunspots over time, scientists can calculate the rotation period of the Sun. This information helps confirm that the Sun is indeed rotating on its axis.
What features can be found on the surface of the sun?
Some features found on the surface of the sun include sunspots, which are temporary darker spots caused by magnetic activity, solar flares, which are sudden brightening events releasing energy, and prominences, which are huge arcs of gas that erupt from the surface. Additionally, the photosphere, chromosphere, and corona are distinct layers of the sun's atmosphere visible from the surface.
