Document Summary
Prominences gas trapped in the magnetic fields is heated and elevated through. Flares when a magnetic loop breaks, it releases matter and energy into space. Solar wind electrons, protons, he nuclei expelled by flairs (gusty) Interacts with earth"s magnetic field (acts like a shield) to causes . A strong solar wind can affect our technology by. High temperatures and pressures in core lead to fusion (via proton-proton. How does the sun shine? chain) of h he. Over time, core shrinks, becomes hotter to maintain balance. Model of the sun accurately predict what we observe. A star can live for millions to billions of years. We will never observe a particular star evolve from birth to death. But all stars were not born at the same time. The stars we see today are at different stages in their lives. By studying lots of stars, we can piece together the story of how stars evolve with time.
