Answer
1. The Sun is located at the center of our solar system.2. a. The innermost layer of the Sun is the core. b. Nuclear fusion occurs in the core, where hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium, releasing energy.3. The 'surface of the sun' is called the photosphere.4. We receive sunlight, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation, from the Sun's surface.5. The surface of the Sun, or the photosphere, is approximately 5,778 degrees Kelvin.6. Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the Sun's photosphere that appear as spots darker than the surrounding areas.7. Sunspots are darker because they are cooler than the surrounding areas on the Sun's surface.8. Sunspots can last from a few days to a few months.9. The current sunspot cycle is Cycle 25.10. The silvery white tubes shown in the video represent magnetic field lines.11. The two basic types of radiation are electromagnetic radiation and particle radiation.12. The eight forms of Electromagnetic Radiation are: - Radio waves - Microwaves - Infrared radiation - Visible light - Ultraviolet radiation - X-rays - Gamma rays13. The Electromagnetic Spectrum diagram is put together by comparing wavelength and frequency.
Explanation
