Layers of the Sun
Our Sun is a large ball of gas. Our Sun gives off energy in the form of heat and light. Where do you think that energy comes from?
If you guessed the process of nuclear fusion then you are right!!

Nuclear fusion is the process by which four hydrogen atoms (H) combine or fuse and produce one atom of Helium (He) and energy. That energy produced by the sun is what provides us with light and heat.

Albert Einstein helped explain how the sun produces its energy. Einstein said that matter can be changed into energy. His famous equation states that energy equals mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light.

The sun also has some features such as:
Prominence
Solar Flares
Sunspots
Solar Winds
Our Sun is made of two main parts: The core and the amtosphere.
The atmosphere is made of three layers:
a)  The photosphere
b) The Chromosphere
c) The Corona
Label the following figure and include the approximate temperatures of each layer.
The Core is the hottest layer with about 15,000,000 degrees Celsius

The Corona is the second hottest layer with about 1,700,000 degrees Celsius

The Chromosphere is the third hottest layer with about 27,800 degrees Celsius

The Photosphere is the coolest layer with about 6,000 degrees Celsius
