What layer of the sun's atmosphere is composed of super granular cells?
The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun, which appears as granules (the tops of convection cells). The "supergranules" are a pattern into which the granules may be clumped, and can be considered either structurally part of the photosphere or part of the convection zone that lies directly beneath it. Some sources extend the term "supergranulation" to include both the photosphere and the chromosphere (which does not, however, use convection).
How can you tell the difference between granules on the sun and a sunspot?
you can't
What is granulation on the sun caused by?
The grainieness is caused by convective cells at the sun's sufrace. Hooter material rises up at the centers of these "grains" (called granules) while less hot material sinks around their edges. Each granule is several hundred miles across.
Why there is no total eclipse of the sun?
it is because the area of sun is covered by moon.
What is the difference between the sun and the moon during an eclipse?
In a solar eclipse, the moon is inbetween the sun and the Earth. This means that the moon casts a shadow on the Earth and block the sun's rays. If the moon is directly in front of the sun, the umbra (darkest part of the shadow) is on the Earth. Otherwise, we will only see the penumbra (where the moon only covers a part of the sun).A solar eclipse is where the earth is inbetween the sun and the moon. This can mean that the moon can disappear from the sky for some time (or the sun will be covered if you are standing on the moon!).

How do Granules and Spicules create the Sun's texture?

How did the sun never set on the united kingdoms empire?
Because it covered 25% of the world and was so widespread that the sun was always shining on some part of it.

Astronomers can see planets because planets they?
I think its because they reflect light from the sun at night ( part of earth is Covered by the Moon but is still reflected by the sun's rays.)
What occurs more often a partial solar eclipse or a total solar eclipse?
A Partial Solar Eclipse will happen most often because it is more likely for part of the sun to be covered up by the moon than the whole moon covering the entire sun.A Partial Solar Which_occurs_more_often_a_partial_solar_eclipse_or_a_total_solar_eclipsewill happen most often because it is more likely for part of the sun to be covered up by the moon than the whole moon covering the entire sun.

Why there is no total eclipse of the sun?
it is because the area of sun is covered by moon.
The grainy appearance of the sun and surface is due to moving columns of gases called?
The bright markings are "faculae" (plural of facula). However, I wouldn't say that they produce the grainy texture. I think the "granulation" is there even without the faculae.
Why sun is a ball of fire?
Sun is a ball of fire because it is covered with fire
What is it when the moon is covered by the sun?
A Lunar eclipse
How does energy from the sun's core to the photosphere?
It goes out from the core into the radiation zone then into the convection zone where convection happens then it goes to the photosphere to become granules.
