  1. Chapter11 The Solar System

  2. solar system our sun and the objects that revolve around it

  3. Sun Fun Facts • The sun is an average sized star • The sun is 150,000,000 km (93,000,000 mi) from Earth • It takes less than 8.5 minutes for light from the Sun to reach Earth

  4. Parts of the Sun • The surface of the sun is thephotosphere. • The photosphere is not smooth. It is bumpy. • The bumps are caused by gases that rise to the surface and create bulges. • Above the sun’s surface is the atmosphere or chromosphere. • The outermost part of the Sun is the corona. It is only visible during a solar eclipse.

  6. Solar Storms • Storms on the sun are actually magnetic storms. • These storms can disrupt life on earth through satellites and GPS. • Sunspots are dark spots on the photosphere. • Faculae are bright clouds of gas on the photosphere. • Solar Flares are solar storms that explode from the Sun’s photosphere.

  7. sun spots dark spots on the surface of the sun faculae bright clouds of gas

  8. solar flare sudden eruption

  9. Solar Storms cont’d • A solar prominence is a huge stream of gas that extends out past the Sun’s corona and lasts for days. • A solar wind is made up of electrically charged particles from the Sun. The solar wind carries the particles from the Sun to Earth’s Atmosphere. • An aurora is a phenomenon of beautiful colors of light that are caused by the Earth’s magnetic field trapping the charged particles from the Sun
