The cause of the Sun's atmosphere is hotter than the surface of the Sun.

A new study has revealed that the cause of the Sun's atmosphere is much hotter, 300 times higher than the surface temperature of the Sun, due to tornadoes of thermal layers outside the Sun.

This research has been done by an international team of scientists based on comparing the Sun's image from the Swedish Solar Telescope to the NASA Solar Energy Observatory. Accordingly, they identified the Sun's atmospheric layer, also known as the volcano (chromosphere), sandwiched between two layers. The solar vortices stretch through the Sun's layer.

According to research estimates, every 1 hour, there are 14 solar tornadoes occurring. Using three-dimensional simulation technology, the team found tornadoes that could play an important role in increasing atmospheric heat outside the Sun.

Unlike the tornadoes on Earth, cyclones on the Sun are a combination of melting gas and turbulent magnetic fields, which will produce nuclear reactions in the Sun's core. For the solar surface it will be cooled by plasma particles. However, the magnetic fields will continue to twist toward the chromosphere. While the hot gases on the Sun's surface follow the magnetic motion of the magnetic field, it will heat the heat into a spiral to create tornadoes of great speed, thousands of kilometers per hour and a wide radius from 1,500-5,550 kilometer.

After observing the Sun, the team set up a model on a computer in which they tried to determine the amount of heat that had been transferred through tornadoes. Finally, the scientists concluded that the solar cyclone itself is so hot in the outer layers of the Sun. Of course, this may be just one of many different processes that provide heat to the sun's optical harmony.

The study was published in the June 27, 2012, issue of the journal Nature.
