Energy Transport in Stars Astrophysics Stellar Interiors Energy Transport in Stars Questions What determines the amount of gravitational contraction in a star? How are magnetic storms on Earth related to sunspot activity? How do sunspots affect global warming? How can sunspots affect cell phone communication? Does the Sun emit alpha particles? How does the energy produced in the core of the sun reach the surface? How does the sun give us heat if space is a vacuum? Once a photon of light is generated, how long does it take to escape beyond the outer part of the Sun? UV light is responsible for sun tanning. How do you find the wavelength (in nm) of an ultraviolet photon whose energy is #6.4 x 10^-19#? How can a photon be a wave and a particle at the same time? Is the Solar Wind comprised of actual matter along with energy? If so, is there a point at which the gravitational attraction of the Sun overcomes the Solar Wind? Is the "solar wind" an actual wind? ? If it is, why doesn't it blow away our space probes? How do solar winds occur? How are solar winds generated? How can solar wind affect astronauts? How can solar wind affect life on earth? The granular appearance of the surface of the Sun is evidence of what phenomenon occurring in or on the Sun? How do the magnetic field lines sustain themselves as the coronal mass ejection flies away from the Sun? What is the best protection against Coronal Mass Ejections from the sun? How much energy does the coronal mass ejection loose as it approaches a distance like the Earth's orbit? What is the primary source of the Sun's energy? What is the Difference between a sunspot and a solar flare? Do solar flares change weather? What are solar flares? How are solar flares related to sunspots? How can solar flares affect communications on earth? How can solar flares affect communications on earth? How do solar flares affect earth? How can solar flares affect satellites? What is the structure of a photon? What fuels the Sun’s enormous energy output? Calculate energy of transition from n=3 to n=1. What region of electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation found? Why does electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet region represent a larger energy transition than does radiation in the infrared region? How can photons have momentum? How to calculate mass of the sun? Please tell in a simple methamatical way.
