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
