About how many Earth’s could you fit inside the sun? About how long does it take for the sun’s light to reach Earth? What two gases make up most of the sun? About how many years left does the sun have until it runs out of fuel? These are the darker, cooler regions of the sun’s surface. The center of the sun is called this. This is the region right outside the outer layer of the sun. It’s where all the solar flares happen. These bright “ribbons” of energy stretch off the sun’s surface and eject energy into space. This field around the sun constantly changes, causing prominences and violent swirling. This nuclear process is how the sun generates its energy. This force is what gives the sun its shape and causes the atoms to fuse in the sun’s core. During the nuclear reaction in the sun’s core, this element is created. This is the lightest element in the universe and is the main fuel for stars. This weapon creates a mini “sun” for a split second, causing massive destruction. When the sun emits charged particles, they enter the Earth’s atmosphere near the magnetic poles and create shimmering lights called this. A massive solar storm would damage what kinds of devices on Earth? This is the scientific term for the Northern Lights. What is the scientific term for the Southern Lights? In what year was the “perfect solar storm”? This ancient Greek astronomer and scientist believed the universe was made of four elements. This cosmological model described a universe that revolved around the Earth. This scientist was the first to challenge the ptolemic model. This Italian scientist confirmed Copernicus’ theories with the use of the telescope. This was the name of the final shell, according to Aristotle.
