Corona - plasma layer surrounding the sun
Chromosphere - layer above the photosphere that gives the sun its red color and sends out wavelengths, only seen during an eclipses
Photosphere - emits the light that we can see
Sub-surface flows - the gas that floats away from the equator and towards the poles
Counter Surface Flows - flows that maintain balance by moving in the opposite direction of the sub-surface flows
Convection zone - the zone cold enough for the atoms to retain their electrons and gives the sun its boiling appearance
Radiative Zone - the zone that allows the sun's energy to be distributed through space in the form of photons
Inner Core - hydrogen is converted into helium through nuclear fusion in the inner core. That is how the sun gets its energy.
The sun releases the power of 100 billion hydrogen bombs every second.
