What is the correct order of the layers of the sun’s atmosphere from innermost to outermost?(1 point) Responses chromosphere, photosphere, corona chromosphere, photosphere, corona photosphere, corona, chromosphere photosphere, corona, chromosphere photosphere, chromosphere, corona photosphere, chromosphere, corona chromosphere, corona, photosphere
The correct order of the layers of the sun’s atmosphere from innermost to outermost is: photosphere, chromosphere, corona.
Which statement about the sun’s rotation is correct?(1 point) Responses The sun’s rotation takes 27 days. The sun’s rotation takes 27 days. The gases at the sun’s poles rotate more quickly than the gases at the equator. The gases at the sun’s poles rotate more quickly than the gases at the equator. All parts of the sun rotate at the same rate. All parts of the sun rotate at the same rate. One rotation of the sun takes less time than one of Earth’s rotations. One rotation of the sun takes less time than one of Earth’s rotations.
The correct statement about the sun’s rotation is: The gases at the sun’s poles rotate more quickly than the gases at the equator.
Which would be the most appropriate way to represent a prominence in a model of the sun?(1 point) Responses a layer of smoke on the sun’s surface a layer of smoke on the sun’s surface a feather extending away from the sun’s surface a feather extending away from the sun’s surface a dark spot on the sun’s surface a dark spot on the sun’s surface a loop of wire extending from the sun’s surface a loop of wire extending from the sun’s surface
The most appropriate way to represent a prominence in a model of the sun would be: a loop of wire extending from the sun’s surface.
A student draws a model of one of the sun's layers. The student draws arrows to represent hot gas moving away from the center of the sun and other arrows to represent cool gas moving toward the center of the sun. Which layer does the model show?(1 point) Responses inner core inner core convection zone convection zone radiation zone radiation zone chromosphere
The model shows the convection zone of the sun. In this layer, hot gas rises toward the surface while cooler gas sinks back toward the center.
