  6. Question 1 a) core b) corona c) photosphere d) chromosphere e) convection zone The visible light we see from our Sun comes from which part? ASTR 101-3, FALL 2010

  7. Question 1 a) core b) corona c) photosphere d) chromosphere e) convection zone The visible light we see from our Sun comes from which part? The photosphere is a relatively narrow layer below the chromosphere and corona, with an average temperature of about 6000 K. ASTR 101-3, FALL 2010

  10. Question 5 A neutrino can escape from the solar core within minutes. How long does it take a photon to escape? a) minutes b) hours c) months d) hundreds of years e) about a million years ASTR 101-3, FALL 2010

  11. Question 5 A neutrino can escape from the solar core within minutes. How long does it take a photon to escape? a) minutes b) hours c) months d) hundreds of years e) about a million years Gamma ray photons are absorbed and re-emitted continuously in the layers above the core. They gradually shift in spectrum to visible and infrared light at the photosphere. ASTR 101-3, FALL 2010

  24. Question 7 a) every 27 days, the apparent rotation period of the Sun’s surface. b) once a year. c) every 5½ years. d) every 11 years. e) approximately every 100 years. The number of sunspots and solar activity in general peaks ASTR 101-3, FALL 2010

  25. Question 7 a) every 27 days, the apparent rotation period of the Sun’s surface. b) once a year. c) every 5 ½ years. d) every 11 years. e) approximately every 100 years. The number of sunspots and solar activity in general peaks The sunspot cycle shows a consistent 11-year pattern of activity dating back more than 300 years. ASTR 101-3, FALL 2010

  34. PROTON-PROTON CHAIN • 4 Hydrogen have an atomic weight of: (4 X 1.008) = 4.032 • 1 Helium-4 has an atomic weight of 4.008 • The difference (4.032 – 4.008) = ).024 goes into energy via E = mc X c • Most of the energy released (98%) goes into Gamma Rays and motion of the Helium and 2% goes into neutrinos ASTR 101-3, FALL 2010

  35. Question 4 a) carbon (C) into oxygen (O) b) helium (He) into carbon (C) c) hydrogen (H) into helium (He) d) neon (Ne) into silicon (Si) e) oxygen (O) into iron (Fe) The proton–proton cycle involves what kind of fusion process? ASTR 101-3, FALL 2010

  36. Question 4 a) carbon (C) into oxygen (O) b) helium (He) into carbon (C) c) hydrogen (H) into helium (He) d) neon (Ne) into silicon (Si) e) oxygen (O) into iron (Fe) The proton–proton cycle involves what kind of fusion process? In the P-P cycle, four hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse into one helium nucleus, releasing gamma rays and neutrinos. ASTR 101-3, FALL 2010
