Secrets Of The Sun Essay

An alien landscape where magnetic tornadoes twist upward is how they describe the sun in the “Secrets of the Sun” video. The video starts by discussing the events on February 15, 2015 in Colorado. NSW are monitoring the sun because it can impact our weather from 93 million miles away. The satellite has also detected a dramatic explosion to the sun’s surface. It is a violent storm that could possibly dwarf the Earth if it were to hit us. The video goes on to state that this sore could be dangerous in two ways. One by releasing a solar flare of outburst of x-ray that can reach the Earth in minutes, the second flare would arrive a day later. It would also cause the Earth to have a cosmic tsunami, causing a crash of the power grid. The video goes on to talk about a similar event that has taken place in Quebec, Canada …show more content…
Scientist found the sun to be very surprising, elusive, crazy and complicated. Until 1960, we could not learn about the inside of the sun. It was discovered that the sun would send off rippling waves made by gasses. These sound waves show us the sun’s interior of how it is made up. When the sun sends a low wave it means it came from deep within. When it had a high tone wave it is closer to the surface. The sun has given off over a million different wave frequencies. A new science called helioseismology was used to help see the inside surface of the sun. This new science has lead us to believe that the sun has a lot of layers. A zone of perpetual churning, a place where light takes thousands of years to cross and the center of the sun is the core which is made of plasma. This plasma is radically hotter in the sun’s core than any normal plasma, because of this activity and how hot the core gets. We as ourselves why does the sun not blow up. It is because of the pressure pushing downward as the sun is pushing outward causes a balance which allows it to not blow
