![Page 1: LG (1). Understand basic principles of the sun’s structure and how it functions Success Criteria (SC) I can name the layers of the sun in order (or label.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f2a5503460f94c440d7/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
LG (1). Understand basic principles of the sun’s structure and how it functions
Success Criteria (SC)• I can name the layers of the sun in
order (or label them on a diagram)• I can describe the source of the
sun’s energy, name its form, and describe its journey from the sun’s core to earth.
Learning Goals

LG (3). Investigate the role of the atmosphere in making the earth habitable
SCs• I can explain how the sun warms,
lights, and minimizes temperature fluctuations on the earth (insulating effect).
• I can explain what happens to EM radiation when it hits the atmosphere (reflection, absorption)

• 100 billion tonnes of Dynamite would have to be detonated every second in order to match the Sun’s energy output!!
• The sun is getting hotter…becoming 10% more luminous every billion years
• If the sun where to “turn off”, within a week the temperature of the earth would be zero degrees F
DID YOU KNOW?!?

High temperature + High pressure
=
Particles moving quickly and colliding at high speeds and fusing
Releases enormous amounts of energy
What human energy source does this remind you of?
The Sun’s Energy Source: Nuclear Fusion

Core: - 2% of Sun’s volume, 50% of Sun’s mass.
DENSE!!!- nuclear fusion happens here…600 tonnes of
H to He per second- 15000000°C
Radiative zone:- Energy moves away from the core- Photons can take up to 1 million years to
reach the next layer- 380,000 km thick- 32% of sun’s volume, 48% of sun’s mass- 5000000 °C

Layers continued…
Convective zone: - 66% of Sun’s volume, 2% of Sun’s mass (LOW
DENSITY)
- Convective currents form “cells”- hot gas rises (away from core)- cool gas falls (toward core)- 5500°C
Photosphere: - Visible “surface” (NOT solid!) looks like boiling liquid
- Light and other radiation begins to escape
- 6000°C
- 140,000 km thick

• Cooler regions on the photosphere (1000-1200ºC cooler)
• Do not emit as much light and appear darker.
• Can last a few days to a few months.
• Largest ever: 1.8*1010 km2 (36 x Earth’s surface area!!)

Solar Storms
- Gas and charged particles emitted from the sun’s surfaceCoronal Mass
Ejections• Lower energy• Ejection of gas• last several
days to several weeks
Flare:• Higher energy • Gas and charged
particles ejected• last a few minutes
to a few hours• Occur near
sunspots

Solar Activity Affects the Earth
1. Solar winds are guided by the Earth’s magnetic field (strongest near the poles)• They interact with particles in the Earth’s
atmosphere, creating the aurora borealis and aurora australis

• Blocks (reflects) bad radiation (UV)
Role of our Atmosphere
• Lets in (absorbs) good radiation (infrared and visible)
• Insulates the Earth: keeps us warm, keeps temperatures from swinging drastically in the day and the night, the summer and winter.

• LG (1). Understand basic principles of the sun’s structure and function
• The sun is made up of gases (mostly hydrogen, some helium)
• The sun has 6 layers:
• Core (15 million C)
• Radiative
• Convective
• Photosphere (the surface)
• Chromosphere
• Corona
• EM radiation from nuclear fusion at the core travels outward.
• Nuclear fusion: when two atoms fuse together. in this case hydrogen turns to helium
• The photosphere is where light finally escapes (it appears to be the surface), and the EM radiation is cast into space

• If the sun was a golf ball…• Earth would be the ball in a ball point pen and 10 ft from the sun
• 2 more feet would take you to Mars
• Neptune would be in Lakefield
• Alpha Centauri is in Winnipeg
• It takes 8.3 min for the sun’s light to reach us
• It takes 4.3 years for the light from Alpha Centauri to reach us!!
