The Sun: A electromagnetic 75% hydrogen and 25% helium by mass ionized ball of plasma that sends energy out into space?

in science •  3 years ago 

"The Sun rotates on its axis as it revolves around the galaxy. Its spin has a tilt of 7.25 degrees with respect to the plane of the planets’ orbits. Since the Sun is not solid, different parts rotate at different rates. At the equator, the Sun spins around once about every 25 Earth days, but at its poles, the Sun rotates once on its axis every 36 Earth days."

"Energy from the core is carried outward by radiation."

"The Sun generates magnetic fields that extend out into space to form the interplanetary magnetic field – the magnetic field that pervades our solar system. The field is carried through the solar system by the solar wind – a stream of electrically charged gas blowing outward from the Sun in all directions."

"A magnetic field is produced by moving electric charges and intrinsic magnetic moments of elementary particles associated with a fundamental quantum property known as spin. Magnetic field and electric field are both interrelated and are components of the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature."

"The Sun’s mass makes up over 99.85% of the Solar System.[1] , and since it is nearly all in the plasma state,[2] over 99.98% of the mass of the Solar System is in the plasma state"

"Plasma makes up 99.99 percent of the visible matter in the universe, the stars and the galaxies, and it also exists in many forms on our planet."

"Plasma is not a gas, liquid, or solid - it is the fourth state of matter. Plasma often behaves like a gas, except that it conducts electricity and is affected by magnetic fields. On an astronomical scale, plasma is common. The Sun is composed of plasma, fire is plasma, fluorescent and neon lights contain plasma"

"Scientists know that the sun is a huge ball of hot gas made up of about 98 percent hydrogen and helium."

"The Sun has different layers with different properties, these layers are composed of material that is about 75% hydrogen and 25% helium by mass. Simply put, the Sun is a great ball of gas, hot enough to glow in every tier."

"A Star and hence our Sun, is an almost entirely ionized ball of plasma, consisting of electrons and ions, in which there is hardly any gas (neutral atoms). The movement of the plasma produces strong magnetic fields and corresponding electric currents."

We’re not sure exactly where in the sun the magnetic field is created,” said Dean Pesnell, a space scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. “It could be close to the solar surface or deep inside the sun – or over a wide range of depths.”

"Without electromagnetic radiation we would all be in the dark, for light is one of its many forms!"

"A moving magnet makes electricity and an electrical current makes a magnetic field. We use these facts to build motors and generators.

Magnetic fields and electrical currents make waves of energy that flow outward into space at the speed of light (which is very, very fast!). These waves of energy are called "electromagnetic radiation". There are six kinds of electromagnetic radiation. The light that we see with our eyes is one kind."

"The sun is permeated and somewhat controlled by a magnetic field. The magnetic field is defined by a combination of three complex mechanisms: a circular electric current that runs through the sun, layers of the sun that rotate at different speeds, and the sun’s ability to conduct electricity."

"The sun’s energy travels to Earth at the speed of light in the form of electromagnetic radiation (EMR).

The electromagnetic spectrum exists as waves of different frequencies and wavelengths.

The frequency of a wave represents how many times the wave repeats itself in a certain unit of time. Waves with very short wavelengths repeat themselves several times in a given unit of time, so they are high-frequency. In contrast, low-frequency waves have much longer wavelengths.

The vast majority of electromagnetic waves that come from the sun are invisible to us."

"Solar Flares are huge eruptions of energy from the sun’s surface and are considered to be the biggest explosions in our solar system. Another form of an eruption from the sun’s surface is the Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), which is the release of the sun’s matter. An EMP is an electromagnetic pulse that is released when lightning strikes or during the detonation of a nuclear weapon. Traces of electromagnetic waves are also present in solar flares. These massive energy releases can cause damage to GPS, Power Grids, Communications Systems, Solar Power Systems, Radios, and other electronic"

"Solar flares are large eruptions of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun lasting from minutes to hours. The sudden outburst of electromagnetic energy travels at the speed of light"

"The Sun emits radiation right across the electromagnetic spectrum, from extremely high-energy X-rays to ultra-long-wavelength radio waves, and everything in-between. The peak of this emission occurs in the visible portion of the spectrum."
