The outermost layer is called the Corona and it extends deep into the Solar System (the Earth is actually within it). Beyond that there is the Sun's magnetic field and of course gravity goes on forever, just getting weaker and weaker.

What is the hazy layer that surrounds a comet and acirc and 128 and 153s nucleus?

The hazy layer that surrounds a comet's nucleus is called the coma. This cloud of gas and dust forms when the comet approaches the Sun, causing its ices to sublimate and release volatile materials. The coma can extend thousands of kilometers into space and is often illuminated by sunlight, giving comets their characteristic glowing appearance. Additionally, the solar wind and radiation pressure can shape the coma and create a tail that points away from the Sun.


How far can solar winds extend in miles?

Solar winds can extend far beyond the planets in our solar system, typically reaching out to about 100 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun. Since 1 AU is approximately 93 million miles, this means solar winds can extend roughly 9.3 billion miles. However, their influence can still be felt even farther in the heliosphere, which can stretch up to about 120 AU or more.


Layer that surrounds the radiation zone of the sun?

The layer that surrounds the radiation zone of the sun is the convection zone. In this zone, energy is transferred by the movement of hot plasma rising and cooler plasma sinking, creating a convection current. This process allows energy to be transported from the core to the surface of the sun.


What does the convection zone of the sun surround?

The convection zone of the sun surrounds the radiative zone, which is the region where energy generated by nuclear fusion in the core is transported outwards through the slow process of radiative diffusion. In the convection zone, energy is transported by the movement of hot plasma, creating convection currents.


How far in percentage does the radiation zone extend to the photosphere?

The radiation zone of the sun extends from about 70% to 90% of the sun's radius, while the photosphere is located at the outer layer, roughly at 100% of the sun's radius. Therefore, the radiation zone extends approximately 70-90% of the way to the photosphere, which means it encompasses about 70-90% of the sun's radius before reaching the outer surface.

What is the name of the giant bubble of charged gas that surrounds the sun?

The giant bubble of charged gas that surrounds the sun is called the heliosphere. It is created by the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the sun. The heliosphere extends far beyond the furthest planets in our solar system.

If the star spica was set in the center of the solar system how far would it extend?

Spica has a radius of about 5,150,400 km whereas the Sun has a radius of 696,000 km. So the "Spica Sun" would extend another 4,454,400 km into the Solar System.


What is the sparse sphere of comets that surrounds the sun and planets?

The sparse sphere of comets that surrounds the sun and planets is known as the Oort Cloud. It is a vast region of space that is thought to contain billions of icy objects and comets. The Oort Cloud is located far beyond the orbit of Pluto, extending up to about 1.6 light years from the sun.
