What is the layer of the suns atmosphere that is also called the suns surface?
The layer of the Sun's atmosphere that is often referred to as the Sun's surface is called the photosphere. It is the visible layer from which sunlight is emitted and has a temperature of about 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit). The photosphere appears as a bright, glowing surface and is where sunspots, which are cooler areas caused by magnetic activity, can be observed.
What are dark patches on suns surface?
Dark patches on the sun's surface, known as sunspots, are areas of reduced temperature caused by magnetic activity inhibiting heat transfer. They are temporary phenomena that appear darker than their surroundings due to their cooler temperatures. Sunspots are associated with increased solar activity and can impact Earth's space weather.
What percent of suns energy that reaches the earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere?
Approximately 30% of the Sun's energy that reaches the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere. This reflection occurs due to various factors, including clouds, atmospheric particles, and Earth's surface characteristics. The remaining energy is absorbed by the Earth, contributing to the planet's climate and weather systems.
Are the suns rays concentrated over a smaller surface in winter?
yes they are
A dark area of gas on the suns surface that is cooler than surrounding gases?
The dark area is known as a sunspot on the Sun's surface. Sunspots appear darker because they are cooler than their surroundings. They are caused by strong magnetic activity that inhibits convection and reduces temperature.
What color is the sun and why?
the suns colour is white, allthough from the surface of the earth it may appear yellow because of atmospheric scattering of blue light.

How many sun spots does the sun have?
The Suns activity varies over time including the number of sun spots. they follow an 11 year cycle of relative activity and dormancy. At any one time there may be hundreds of them across the surface.
What is the difference of the earth and the sun's surface?
You can still get free parking on the suns surface.
What is the burst of light on the Suns surface?
A solar flare.
What is the most common state of the suns surface?
plamsa
What transfer solar energy to the suns surface?

What do the sun spots indicate about the suns surface?
its a little conder
What is the temperature of the suns surface in kalvin?
Its about 5670.16 degrees kelvin
