What are dark patches on suns surface?
Sun Spots!
Are the suns rays concentrated over a smaller surface in winter?
yes they are
How hots the suns surface?
The surface of the sun, called the photosphere, ranges between 5,500 °C to 6,000 °C.
How many suns fit between the earth and the sun?
The Earths orbital distance from the sun is 149,597,890km (92,955,820 miles) on average, enough to fit 107 more suns between the suns surface and Earth.
Which is hotter the sun or the earths crust?
The Suns surface is about 6,000K much hotter than the Earths crust. The hottest lava can get at the surface is about 1,400K
What is suns hotter region directly above the visible surface?
Chromosphere
What are the 3 features on or above the Suns surface?
hot hot hot
What features form on or above the suns surface?
some features are molten material and lava
How are crystals formed and how does the rate effect the crystal?
Crystals that are formed below the surface are formed by the cooling of magma. Crystals above the surface are formed when a volcano erupts, and cools, again, above the surface. Crystals that are below the surface usually have a slower rate of cooling than those above the surface, causing bigger crystals because of the slower cooling:)
A flaming shooting out from the surface of the sun is?
This is called a solar prominence when viewed on the suns limb or a solar filament when viewed with the solar disk behind it (when it will appear darker than the disk). Filaments/ prominences are formed in magnetic loops that hold relatively cool, dense gas suspended above the surface of the Sun.
The type of rock that is formed from magma that cooled above the Earth's surface?
metamorphic
Where does Igneous rock form below or above?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of lava/magma. (Lava is magma that has been moved from beneath the Earth's surface to above.) They can be formed above or below the Earth's surface- when formed above is called 'Extrusive Igneous rock' and when formed below is 'Intrusive Igneous rock'. When a rock is extrusive, it forms small crystals. When it is intrusive, it causes large crystals to form.
What igneous rocks form above the earths surface?
Extrusive because they are formed outside of the earth's core. Rocks formed below earth's surface are intrusive because they are formed inside the earth's core.
The name of the suns surface?
Chromosphere
What we know as the suns surface?
photosphere
What are formed when water vapor cools and condenses high above the earth's surface?
clouds
How are rocks formed in a volcanic eruption?
They are formed when the erupted magma or lava, cool and sollidifies below or above the earths surface respectively.
