The correct response is:
using theoretical models combined with known data
Astronomers have formed their ideas about the layers of the sun by utilizing both theoretical models of stellar structure and behavior, along with observational data from various sources, such as solar observations and measurements of solar radiation.
The correct response is:
The highest temperatures are from the corona.
Astronomers can identify the layers of the sun by analyzing temperature data, knowing that the corona has the highest temperatures compared to the other layers. This information helps differentiate it from the core, radiative zone, and photosphere.
The correct response is:
nuclear fusion.
The sun's energy originates from the process of nuclear fusion, where hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process.
The correct response is:
magnetosphere.
The magnetosphere is the region around Earth that is influenced by its magnetic field, and it protects Earth's atmosphere from solar wind and other charged particles from the sun.
