Let's solve this step by step.

Part 1: Labeling the Diagram of the Sun
We are given a diagram of the Sun with numbered parts (1 to 6). We need to label them based on standard solar anatomy.
From left to right, top to bottom:
-
1 → Outermost layer of the atmosphere —
Corona
-
2 → The visible surface of the Sun —
Photosphere
-
3 → The inner layer where energy is transferred by radiation —
Radiation Zone
-
4 → The outermost layer of the Sun’s interior —
Convection Zone
-
5 → The central region where nuclear fusion occurs —
Core
-
6 → The layer above the photosphere that has a reddish glow —
Chromosphere
So the labels are:
1.
Corona
2.
Photosphere
3.
Radiation Zone
4.
Convection Zone
5.
Core
6.
Chromosphere

Part 2: Matching Vocabulary Terms
Now match each term in the left column with the correct description letter from the right column.
Let’s go through each one:
---
7. solar flare
→ Eruptions that occur when loops in sunspot regions suddenly connect
✔ f
8. core
→ The center of the sun
✔ h
9. chromosphere
→ The layer of the sun’s atmosphere that has a reddish glow
✔ b
10. sunspot
→ Areas of gas on the sun’s surface that are cooler than the gases around them
✔ d
11. corona
→ The layer of the sun’s atmosphere that looks like a halo during an eclipse
✔ c
12. nuclear fusion
→ The joining of hydrogen atoms to form helium
✔ j
13. photosphere
→ The layer of the sun’s atmosphere that gives off visible light
✔ a
14. solar wind
→ A stream of charged particles produced by the corona
✔ g
15. prominence
→ Reddish loops of gas that link parts of sunspot regions
✔ e
16. radiation zone
→ The layer of the sun’s interior where energy is transferred mainly by electromagnetic radiation
✔ k
17. convection zone
→ The outermost layer of the sun’s interior
✔ i
