A student builds a model of the sun with a golf ball at its center. Which part of the sun does the golf ball represent? (1 point)
• inner core
• convection zone
O radiative zone
• atmosphere
The golf ball would represent the inner core of the sun.
What is the correct order of the layers of the sun's atmosphere from innermost to outermost? (1 point)
• photosphere, chromosphere, corona
• photosphere, corona, chromosphere
• chromosphere, corona, photosphere
O chromosphere, photosphere, corona
The correct order of the layers of the sun's atmosphere from innermost to outermost is chromosphere, photosphere, corona.
Which statement about the sun's rotation is correct? (1 point)
• One rotation of the sun takes less time than one of Earth's rotations.
• The gases at the sun's poles rotate more quickly than the gases at the equator.
• The sun's rotation takes 27 days.
• All parts of the sun rotate at the same rate.
The correct statement about the sun's rotation is: All parts of the sun rotate at the same rate.
Which would be the most appropriate way to represent a prominence in a model of the sun? (1 point)
• a layer of smoke on the sun's surface
• a dark spot on the sun's surface
• a loop of wire extending from the sun's surface
O a feather extending away from the sun's surface
The most appropriate way to represent a prominence in a model of the sun would be a loop of wire extending from the sun's surface.
A student draws a model of one of the sun's layers. The student draws arrows to represent hot gas moving away from the center of the sun and other arrows to represent cool gas moving toward the center of the sun. Which layer does the model show? (1 point)
O radiation zone
• chromosphere
O inner core
O convection zone
