Page |1 Adele Harris September 26, 2019 Nova Sun Response Astronomy 132 Professor Glen Morris Fun Fact #1: Sun Spots are actually dark because they are cold.

Fun Fact #2: CME waves can travel 93,000,000 miles to Earth in a matter of hours.

Fun Fact #3: Photons take over 100,000 years to cross the zone.

For the most part this entire video was very informative and surprising, I actually didn’t know how many things I did not know about the Sun. Firstly, I was surprised to find out that Sun spots are dark because they are cold. One would think that because they are dark that they would be a very hot part of the sun, kind of as if it were burnt. CME waves are very destructive and they reach Earth fairly quick for the 93,000,000 miles that they need to travel. The damage caused by a CME wave can take hours if not longer to repair. And lastly, photons. Photons take over 100,000 years to cross the zone where they then need to pass through other different layers of the Sun to emit electromagnetic radiation, such as light and radio waves....
