Layers of the Sun worksheet for learning solar structure.

Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve the "Layers of the Sun" labeling task based on standard solar structure knowledge and the provided word bank.

🔍 Understanding the Layers of the Sun

The Sun has several distinct layers, from the innermost core to the outer atmosphere. Here’s how they are ordered from inside to outside:

1. Core – The center where nuclear fusion occurs.
2. Radiative Zone – Energy moves outward via radiation.
3. Convection Zone – Energy is transported by convection currents.
4. Photosphere – The visible surface of the Sun; where sunlight is emitted.
5. Chromosphere – A layer above the photosphere, visible during solar eclipses.
6. Transition Zone – A thin region between chromosphere and corona.
7. Corona – The outermost layer; visible as a halo during total solar eclipses.

✔ Step-by-Step Labeling

Now, let's match the labels from the word bank to the correct positions in the diagram based on typical layout (assuming the image shows concentric circles with lines pointing outward):

#### From the center outward:
1. Innermost circle → Core
2. Next layer → Radiative Zone
3. Next layer → Convection Zone
4. Outer visible surface → Photosphere
5. Layer just above photosphere → Chromosphere
6. Thin layer above chromosphere → Transition Zone
7. Outermost layer (spiky or flared) → Corona

📝 Final Answer: Labels (from inside to outside)

| Layer Number | Label |
|--------------|------------------|
| 1 (Center) | Core |
| 2 | Radiative Zone |
| 3 | Convection Zone |
| 4 | Photosphere |
| 5 | Chromosphere |
| 6 | Transition Zone |
| 7 (Outer) | Corona |

> 💡 Note: The corona is often depicted with spiky rays or flares extending outward — this should be labeled at the very edge.

✔ How to Fill in the Worksheet

Using the arrows on the diagram:

- Top right arrow (pointing to innermost dark circle) → Core
- Next layer inward/outward → Radiative Zone
- Then next → Convection Zone
- Outer ring before the spikes → Photosphere
- Just above that → Chromosphere
- Thin line above chromosphere → Transition Zone
- Spiky outer part → Corona

🧠 Tips for Students

- Remember: "Core → Radiative → Convection → Photosphere → Chromosphere → Transition → Corona"
- Think of it like an onion: layers build outwards.
- The photosphere is what we see as the "surface" of the Sun.
- The corona is only visible during total solar eclipses.
