咆哮的太阳:炽热的气体的高度有十万公里。 这些炽热气体受到复杂多变的太阳磁场约束,才形成这种丝状物。从太阳表面喷升后,丝状物内大部份的气体会再掉回太阳表面。不过更强大的太阳喷发,有时候会把高能粒子喷向地球,毁损人造卫星或造成人造卫星通讯工作的中断。

从人类赖以生息繁衍的地球向外看,天空最引人注目的就是给人类光明和温暖的、灿烂辉煌的太阳。太阳是一颗自己能发光发热的气体星球。人们看到的太阳表面叫光球。光球以上的部分是色球层,色球层的外围是日冕层。这样三个层面合起来构成了太阳的大气层。太阳的直径约为140万千米,地球的直径约为1.3万千米,太阳与地球相比,太阳的直径是地球直径的109倍。109的立方,约为1300000。那么,太阳的体积大约是地球体积的130万倍。

    太阳不存在固态表层,它不会像地球那样整体自转。 太阳的平均密度为1.4克/厘米3,比水大一些。但是太阳里外的密度是不一样的。它的外壳大部分为气体,密度很小。但是越往里面,物质越稠密,密度越大。核心的密度可能为160克/厘米3,这比钢的密度还大将近20倍。

    它的总质量约为2.0×1030千克,是地球质量的33万倍。太阳每时每刻都在稳定地向宇宙空间发射能量,其中只有约22亿分之一的能量,主要以辐射形式来到地球,成为地球上光和热的主要来源。太阳的核心不停地发生着氢核聚变成为氦核的热核反应,每秒钟烧掉6亿多吨氢核燃料,在聚变为氦时,实际消耗的氢核约400万吨。太阳的巨大能量就是这样产生的。 (长空/文)

English Material:

The Sun is the most prominent feature in our solar system. It is the largest object and contains approximately 98% of the total solar system mass. One hundred and nine Earths would be required to fit across the Sun's disk, and its interior could hold over 1.3 million Earths. The Sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000°C (11,000°F). This layer has a mottled appearance due to the turbulent eruptions of energy at the surface.
 
Solar energy is created deep within the core of the Sun. It is here that the temperature (15,000,000° C; 27,000,000° F) and pressure (340 billion times Earth's air pressure at sea level) is so intense that nuclear reactions take place. This reaction causes four protons or hydrogen nuclei to fuse together to form one alpha particle or helium nucleus. The alpha particle is about .7 percent less massive than the four protons. The difference in mass is expelled as energy and is carried to the surface of the Sun, through a process known as convection, where it is released as light and heat. Energy generated in the Sun's core takes a million years to reach its surface. Every second 700 million tons of hydrogen are converted into helium ashes. In the process 5 million tons of pure energy is released; therefore, as time goes on the Sun is becoming lighter. 

The chromosphere is above the photosphere. Solar energy passes through this region on its way out from the center of the Sun. Faculae and flares arise in the chromosphere. Faculae are bright luminous hydrogen clouds which form above regions where sunspots are about to form. Flares are bright filaments of hot gas emerging from sunspot regions. Sunspots are dark depressions on the photosphere with a typical temperature of 4,000°C (7,000°F).
