What else can I help you with?
Which of the following is NOT an example of convection?
Earth receiving heat from the sun.
Compare and contrast the layers sun with of earth?
The earth's geological layers are (from center to outside)the core-which is mostly nickel and iron-, the mantle,-which is melted rock called magma-, and the crust, -which is composed of rocks, soil etc. The earth's atmospheric layers are (from surface out) the Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere. The sun's geological layers are (form center to outside) the inner core, the radiative zone, the convection zone, and the photosphere, which is the surface of the sun. The one atmospheric layer is the chromosphere, which contains the corona.
Is the sun heating they earth the best example of convection?
The heating alone is not, no, but the convection it sets up, thus forming winds and weather systems, is a valid example.
What are some examples of conduction radiation and convection?
Radiaton- the sun rays conduction putting a pan on a hot stove convection- hot air rising cooling and falling
How does the sun emit light?
the photoshpere emits visible light
Define the sun's convection zone?
A region of turbulent plasma between the suns core and its visible photosphere at the surface, through which energy is transferred by convection. In the convection zone, hot plasma rises, cools as it nears the surface, and falls to be heated and rise again.
What is the layer of the sun through which energy travels by convection from the radiative zone to the atmosphere?
From the Sun's core, energy moves through the radiative zone, across the tachocline (transition layer) to the convective zone, and then to the outer convective zone with its visible granulation.
Label the parts of the sun?
The sun is composed of three main regions: the core, where nuclear fusion occurs; the radiative zone, where energy moves by radiation; and the convection zone, where energy moves by convection. The visible surface of the sun is called the photosphere.
What is convective zone?
A convection zone is the final process of the sun's radius. Energy from the sun is carried outward to the surface by convection currents.
What are the layers of the sun and what occurs in each?
The sun has many different layers that make up the sun: Core Radiation Zone Convection Zone Photosphere- sunspots Chromosphere Transition Region Corona The Core is the layer that stores all of the sun's energy. The Radiation Zone transfers the energy that the Core passes. The Convection Zone carries the sun's energy to the surface. The Photosphere is the visible surface of the sun. The Chromosphere is a thin surface above the Photosphere. The Corona is the sun's atmospheric layer.
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.
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.
Label and identify the parts of the sun?
The Sun is composed of the core, radiative zone, convective zone, photosphere, chromosphere, and corona. The core is where nuclear fusion occurs, creating energy. The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun, while the corona is the outermost layer that is only visible during a solar eclipse.
What color is the convection zone of the sun?
orange
In which region of the Sun does energy move as waves that transfer from atom to atom photosphere corona core radiative zone chromosphere convective zone?
The portion of the sun in which energy moves from atom to atom in the form of waves is called the?
What is a interior layers of sun?
They are the Convection Zone, Radiative Zone, then the Core.
What visible evidence do you have about the sun?
The Sun itself.
