What is the thin red rim around the Sun during a total solar eclipse called?
The thin red rim around the Sun during a total solar eclipse is called the solar chromosphere. It is the lower part of the Sun's atmosphere and is visible during a total solar eclipse when the Moon fully covers the Sun's bright disk, allowing the chromosphere to be seen.
How was the solar system formed according to astronomers?
Astronomers believe that the solar system formed from a giant rotating cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula. As the cloud collapsed under its own gravity, it began to spin faster and eventually formed a flat, rotating disk. The Sun formed at the center, while the planets and other objects in the solar system accreted from the material in the disk.
What is a vast disk of icy comets near Neptune's orbit called?
The vast disk of icy comets near Neptune's orbit is called the Kuiper Belt. It is a region of the outer Solar System that contains numerous small icy bodies and serves as a source of short-period comets.
What happened to the solar disk as it spun faster and faster?
As the solar disk spun faster and faster, it would bulge outward at the equator due to centrifugal forces. This would cause the shape of the disk to become more oblate or flattened at the poles. The increased rotation rate would also affect the magnetic activity and dynamics of the solar atmosphere.
The smallest addressable unit of storage on a disk is called a?
The smallest addressable unit of storage on a disk is called a sector.
What is it called when the moon's disk completely covers the sun?
When the moon's disk completely covers the sun you have a solar eclipse.
When the moons disk completely covers the sun?
That is a total solar eclipse.
When the moon disk completely covers the sun?
That is a total solar eclipse.
When the moon's disk completely covers the sun?
That is a total solar eclipse.
A solar system may form from a spinning disk of a material called?
accretion disk

Solar system formed from a cloud of dust?
Yes, the solar system including our Sun and planets is believed to have formed from a large disk of gas and dust called a proto-disk or proto-solar disk, due to gravitational effects. It is currently thought that several stars formed from the same cloud as our Sun.
What is a huge spiraling disk of stars and dust and gas called?
A huge spiraling disk of stars, dust, and gas is called a galaxy. The Milky Way is an example of a galaxy that contains our solar system.
What are promininces seen straight on called?
Prominences seen straight on are called filaments. They are seen as silhouette against the solar disk. Prominences refers to features that are cloud-like in the solar atmosphere.
What are DVD covers used for?
To protect the disk and give information of what the disk contains.
How does a partial solar eclipse differ form a total eclipse?
-- During a partial solar eclipse, part of the sun is obscured from our view (by the moon) and the rest of it is still there. -- During a total solar eclipse, the entire disk of the sun is obscured from our view (by the moon).
When the Moon's disk completely cover the sun?
That's called a solar eclipse. It can sometimes happen at new moon.
