Question

1. match the layers of the sun with the descriptions.

radiation zone the very center of the sun
convection layer the layer where light energy swirls into heated gases
photosphere the surface layer of the sun where sunspots may be seen
corona a thin, very hot layer above the photosphere
chromosphere the layer where energy moves up from the sun’s center as light
core outermost layer where disturbances including solar flares and solar wind occur

Explanation:

To solve the sun layer - description matching:

1. Core: The core is the very center of the sun where nuclear fusion occurs, so it matches "the very center of the sun".
2. Radiation Zone: In the radiation zone, energy moves out from the core as light (photons) through radiation, so it matches "the layer where energy moves up from the sun’s center as light".
3. Convection Layer: In the convection layer, light energy swirls into heated gases (convection currents transfer energy), so it matches "the layer where light energy swirls into heated gases".
4. Photosphere: The photosphere is the visible surface layer of the sun where sunspots can be seen, so it matches "the surface layer of the sun where sunspots may be seen".
5. Chromosphere: The chromosphere is a thin, very hot layer above the photosphere, so it matches "a thin, very hot layer above the photosphere".
6. Corona: The corona is the outermost layer of the sun where disturbances like solar flares and solar wind occur, so it matches "outermost layer where disturbances including solar flares and solar wind occur".

Answer:

• core - the very center of the sun
• radiation zone - the layer where energy moves up from the sun’s center as light
• convection layer - the layer where light energy swirls into heated gases
• photosphere - the surface layer of the sun where sunspots may be seen
• chromosphere - a thin, very hot layer above the photosphere
• corona - outermost layer where disturbances including solar flares and solar wind occur
