  2. Chromosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosphere

    The red color of the chromosphere could be seen during the solar eclipse of August 11, 1999.. The density of the Sun's chromosphere decreases exponentially with distance from the center of the Sun by a factor of roughly 10 million, from about 2 × 10 −4 kg/m 3 at the chromosphere's inner boundary to under 1.6 × 10 −11 kg/m 3 at the outer boundary.

    Also called resource cost advantage. The ability of a party (whether an individual, firm, or country) to produce a greater quantity of a good, product, or service than competitors using the same amount of resources. absorption The total demand for all final marketed goods and services by all economic agents resident in an economy, regardless of the origin of the goods and services themselves ...

  5. Optical phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_phenomenon

    One common example is the rainbow, when light from the Sun is reflected and refracted by water droplets. Some phenomena, such as the green ray, are so rare they are sometimes thought to be mythical. [2] Others, such as Fata Morganas, are commonplace in favored locations. Other phenomena are simply interesting aspects of optics, or

    Though the light-year is often used to measure galactic-scale distances in non-specialist publications, the unit of length most commonly used in professional astrometry is the parsec. limb darkening An optical effect seen in stars (including the Sun), where the center part of the disk appears brighter than the edge or limb of the image. line of ...

  7. Sunspot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunspot

    Sunspots themselves, in terms of the magnitude of their radiant-energy deficit, have a weak effect on solar flux. [39] The total effect of sunspots and other magnetic processes in the solar photosphere is an increase of roughly 0.1% in brightness of the Sun in comparison with its brightness at the solar-minimum level.

  8. Solar plage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_plage

    Classically, plage have been defined as regions that are bright in Hα and other chromospheric emission lines. With modern imaging, most researchers now identify plage based on the photospheric magnetic field concentration of the faculae below. The magnetic field of plage is confined to the intergranular lanes in the photosphere with a strength ...

    This is because long-wavelength (red) light is scattered less than blue light. The red light reaches the observer's eye, whereas the blue light is scattered out of the line of sight. Other colours in the sky, such as glowing skies at dusk and dawn. These are from additional particulate matter in the sky that scatter different colors at ...
