Inside the Sun • The Core • nuclear fusion • Radiative Zone • ubiquity of photons • Convective Zone: • hot plasmarises
The Sun in ultraviolet light shows prominences, sliding plasma and tiny spikes darting up just above the Sun’s surface, seen best along its edge
A 3D composite of the Sun in UV light: the brighter areas are active regions; darker areas are coronal holes
The Sun in one wavelength of UV light: the brighter loops above an active region

The Sunismistic • Consists of different layers (onion-like structure) • hot core – nuclear fusion • radiative zone – many photons • convective zone - hot plasmarising • atmosphere (photosphere, chromosphere, corona) • The Sun’s peculiarrotation • Magnetic seasons of the Sun
