The Sun in the Electromagnetic Spectrum

The image shows a portion of the layer of the Sun's atmosphere known as the chromosphere, just above the Sun’s surface. Most of the UV light comes from the sunpot "active regions", where we can sometimes see loops, large prominences rising high above the surface of the Sun. At the north and south poles of the Sun, less UV light is emitted ...

THE WATER CYCLE

Let’s begin by looking at the atmosphere, which includes the clouds. When water vapour cools, it condenses and thanks to gravity it falls to Earth in form of rain, snow or sleet (precipitation over land). Precipitation also occurs over oceans. The living things on Earth are represented, in the diagram, by the trees.

A INTRODUCTION TO THE GLOBAL CARBON C

Carbon is also present in the Earth's atmosphere, soils, oceans, and crust. When viewing the Earth as a system, these components can be referred to as carbon pools (sometimes also called stocks or reservoirs) because they act as storage houses for large amounts of carbon. Any movement of carbon between these reservoirs is called a flux. In any ...

The Structure of the Sun - Homepage | NOAA / NWS Space ...

The Sun’s interior domain includes the core, the radiative layer , and the convective layer (Figure 2–1). The core is the source of the Sun’s energy, the site of thermonuclear fusion. At a temperature of about 15,000,000 K, matter is in the state known as a plasma: atomic nuclei (principally protons) and electrons moving at very high speeds.
