Can an infrared telescope designed to observe fusion reactions in the Sun's core?
no, it could not see below the photosphere.
What is the sun atmosphere?
The Sun's atmosphere is called the chromosphere and the corona. The photosphere which is below the chromosphere and is the visible surface of the Sun is usually considered to be part of the atmosphere also.
Are sunspots storms?
No, sunspots are "holes" in the sun's photosphere that allow you to see the layer just below. They are produced by concentrations of solar magnetic flux lines.
Why can't you see deeper into the sun than the photosphere?
The photosphere is the layer in the sun's atmosphere that is dense enough to emit plenty of light but not so dense that the light can't escape. Below the photosphere, the gas is denser and hotter therefore radiates plenty of light, but that light cannot escape from the sun because it is blocked by the outer layers of gas. so you cannot detect light from these deeper layers.Sources: Book The Solar System by Seeds/Backman (7th Edition) P.143
What is the temerature on the sun?
The sun is 4.6 billion years old. It is largely composed of hydrogen and helium. The sun is about 110 times bigger than the earth. It has many layers. The surface of the sun is called the photosphere. Its density is from one-millionth, to one ten millionth as dense as water. The photosphere gives off the sun's energy in forms of heat and light. Most of the sunlight we see is from its pebbly surface. The photosphere is 340 miles thick and it's temperature s range from 5,500 °C to 6,000 °C. It has dark spots called sunspots which are the only solar activity observable by the naked eye. Above the photosphere the temperature is about 4,000 °C above that, the temperature rises to 27,800 °C. The region consists of hot gases in violent motion and is called the chromosphere. It displays fountains of flaming gases. The next layer below the photosphere is the convection zone. It is 60,000 miles thick and it's temperature can reach 2 million °C. The radiation zone is directly below the convection zone. Energy from the core rebounds for centuries before surfacing, and it is 300,000 miles thick with a temperature at up to 6.5 million °C. The core of the sun is under 200 billion times the pressure of the earth's surface. It is 60,000 miles thick and has a temperature that does not exceed 15 million °C. It's so hot that hydrogen is fused into helium.
What type of energy transport is just below the suns photosphere?
Convection
Where on a star is the photosphere?
The photosphere is the outer part of the star that is visible, inside which the star becomes opaque to visible light. The photosphere is the layer below the star's atmosphere (the chromosphere, and so forth).
Can an infrared telescope designed to observe fusion reactions in the Sun's core?
no, it could not see below the photosphere.
What is the sun atmosphere?
The Sun's atmosphere is called the chromosphere and the corona. The photosphere which is below the chromosphere and is the visible surface of the Sun is usually considered to be part of the atmosphere also.
How do you transport depleted uranium from Canada to the US legally?
Ask at the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited for details; see the link below.
Are sunspots storms?
No, sunspots are "holes" in the sun's photosphere that allow you to see the layer just below. They are produced by concentrations of solar magnetic flux lines.
Explain what happens in the electron transport chain?
as electrons from the Krebs cycle move down the electron transport chain energy level is reduced.
