The mechanism that astronomers believe is responsible for making the Sun's outer atmosphere so much hotter than the photosphere is called the plasma jet. These jets of plasma are known as spicules.

How do stars make radiant energy?

Thermonuclear fusion in the core of the star heats the material of the star. A series of complex energy transfer mechanisms transport the heat from the core to the photosphere of the star. The photosphere then emits electromagnetic radiation.

How are redshifts created?

A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.
