The surface of the Sun is not as hot as you think

Many people believe that the closer to the Sun the higher the temperature. That things true or false?

Scientists at Northumbria University, NewCastle, England have used solar imaging technology to study the chromosphere between the sun's surface and aura.

Astronomers have explored the reason why some of the stars have 200 times more aura than the surface, although they are very far from the heat source. They argue that the cause of the increase in temperature is due to the wave from the water, which generates energy from the surface of the star to the outer surface of the atmosphere.

The team used telescopes to measure the speed and energy of hydro-waves, then determine the amount of energy converted. Dr. Richard Morton and his colleagues have confirmed that magnetic waves act to transfer energy from the Sun's surface, through chromosphere, into the aura, causing the heat on the outermost layer of the atmosphere to reach 1 million degrees.

The surface of the Sun is not as hot as the outermost layer of the atmosphere surrounding it.

'The sun is our closest star and also the only star that allows us to delve into the properties of stars. Stars produce heat through fusion reactions in the core and this temperature is decreasing as it approaches the surface, ' Morton said.

However, there are many stars whose temperatures outside the atmosphere are higher than those on the star's surface.

'Our observations allow to predict the amount of energy transported through magnetic waves, and these predictions show that the energy of magnetic waves has made it difficult for the aura to cover temperatures. understand, " Morton said.
