2A Components of the SOLAR SYSTEM

largest planet / ocean of liquid hydrogen

Which part of the diagram shows where the sun transports energy through convection?

darker spots on the photosphere that are just areas of cooler than the 'surface' of the sun

frozen methane clouds / windiest with moving storm spot

planet known for its ring system

outermost portion of the solar atmosphere; envelope of ionized gas; solar wind comes from this

outermost portion of the solar atmosphere; envelope of ionized gas; solar wind comes from this

Which are some examples of these left overs/small bodies?

origin of most long-term period comets; located in the outermost parts of our solar system; icy

observable during a solar eclipse ; thin layer of hot gases just above the photosphere

Which part of the diagram shows where the sun performs thermonuclear fusion?

planet known for the following: rotates on its side

a release of an enormous amount of energy (as ultraviolet, radio, and x-ray radiation)

object thought to be developing into a planet that is orbiting around the sun or a star

smallest planet; known for being highly cratered

Which part of the diagram shows where the sun performs thermonuclear fusion?

darker spots on the photosphere; cooler than the 'surface' of the sun; have an 11 year cycle

Which can create energy through fusion and send out light and heat energy to earth?

What part of the solar system would have been some of the small bodies left over?

Which have enough mass to gravitationally pull H and He gases into a large atmosphere

Elements heavier than iron exist, but if they can’t be formed in a star... how are they formed?

hotter/less dense material/plasma moves through this zone; hotter rises... cooler sinks

where nuclear fusion occurs; H into He for the next 5 billion years

This is our sun, what is the heaviest element it will be able to produce?

reddish planet / very thin atmosphere

What would have formed from the hydrogen, concentrated center of the rotating nebula

What will form in the center of the disk shaped cloud (during the formation of a solar system)?

'surface' of the sun; radiates most of the sunlight we see

hotter/less dense material/plasma moves through this zone; once it reaches the surface

located in between Mars and Jupiter; where most asteroids of our solar system orbit our sun

'surface' of the sun; radiates most of the sunlight we see; made of grainy granules

where nuclear fusion releases energy in the form of light and heat; H into He

planet with thick clouds / higher greenhouse effect / shield volcanoes

solar material is hot and dense enough that thermal radiation transfers heat outward

What would have formed from less abundant, higher melting point metals and silicates?

Celestial body (object in space) that orbits around a larger body… aka a moon

a release of an enormous amount of energy (as ultraviolet, radio, and x-ray radiation)

only observed during a solar eclipse; thin layer of hot gases just above the photosphere

planet that is 71% surface covered in water / habitable

Which planet is habitable?

What will form from the particles of the protoplanetary disk?

What is the most widely accepted view on how a solar system forms?

solar material is hot and dense enough that thermal radiation transfers heat outward
