Core - The center of the star where super-hot gases create energy through nuclear fusion, making the star shine!

Radiation Zone - A layer around the core where energy slowly moves outward over thousands of years.

Convection Zone - The outer layer of a star where hot gases rise and cooler gases sink, creating a bubbling effect.

Photosphere - The surface of the star that we can see. It's where most of the light comes from!

Chromosphere - A thin, reddish layer above the photosphere. It's visible during a solar eclipse.

Corona - The outermost layer of a star's atmosphere. It looks like a glowing halo around the Sun during an eclipse.

Sunspots - Dark spots on a star's surface that are cooler than the rest of the star. They can grow and shrin over time.

Solar Flares - Huge bursts of energy from the Sun that shoot out into space.

 They can cause beautiful auroras on Earth!

Prominences - Loops of glowing gas that extend from the Sun's surface and can last for days or weeks.

Solar Wind - A stream of charged particles that flow from the Sun into space, affecting planets and even creating the Northern Lights!
