What does water in the sea turn into when it is heated by the sun?

When water in the ocean is heated by the sun it turns into water vapour and evaporates, however it leaves the salt behind as it is made of separate molecules.


If the Sun is made of gases such as hydrogen and helium how can it have layers?

The Sun is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium gases, which are heated to extreme temperatures, causing them to behave like a plasma. This plasma is organized into distinct layers based on temperature and pressure gradients. The inner layers, such as the core, are extremely hot and dense, while the outer layers, like the corona, are cooler and less dense. These differences in temperature and density lead to the formation of the Sun's layered structure despite its gaseous composition.


What currents can form when liquids and gases are heated?

When liquids and gases are heated, they can create convection currents. In liquids, heated areas become less dense and rise, while cooler areas sink, creating a circular flow. In gases, heated air rises and cooler air sinks, generating vertical movements that mix and distribute heat.


Why are gases oftentimes stored away from heated pipelines?

Gases are stored away from heated pipelines to prevent the risk of spontaneous combustion or explosions due to the high temperatures. If gases come into contact with a heated pipeline, there is a possibility of the gases reaching their ignition point and causing a dangerous reaction. Keeping them separate reduces this risk and ensures safety.


Is radioactive atoms the same as the sun?

No. The sun is made up of a ball of gases, and the only radioactive gas we know of is Radon. Also, most radioactive elements are man-made.
