Question 1
The visible light we see from our Sun comes from which part?
a) coreb) coronac) photosphered) chromospheree) convection zone
The photosphere is a relatively narrow layer below the
chromosphere and corona, with an average temperature of about
6000 K.

a) minutesb) hoursc) monthsd) hundreds of yearse) about a million years

Question 5
A neutrino can escape from the solar core within minutes. How long does it take a photon to escape?
a) minutesb) hoursc) monthsd) hundreds of yearse) about a million years
Gamma ray photons are absorbed and re-emitted continuously in the layers
above the core.
They gradually shift in spectrum to visible and infrared light at the
photosphere.

PROTON-PROTON CHAIN
• 4 Hydrogen have an atomic weight of: (4 X 1.008) = 4.032
• 1 Helium-4 has an atomic weight of 4.008• The difference (4.032 – 4.008) = ).024 goes
into energy via E = mc X c• Most of the energy released (98%) goes into
Gamma Rays and motion of the Helium and 2% goes into neutrinos
