  • Without our Sun, there would be no heat, no light and no life on Earth. An eleven-year cycle of magnetic activity modulates its appearance, and the occurrence of eruptive events such as flares and coronal mass ejections. I shall discuss how these, in turn, affect the Earth - and how the Sun currently does not seem to be behaving as expected.

    I have no clue who would dislike this. Maybe the flat/young Earth bacterium.
    Anyway, it took me several hours to get through this from taking notes and contemplating. My mind truly went on a journey 90 million miles away. Thank you. I will watch this many times.

    The Korean record is actually in Chinese. Korean in the 12th century did not have a written language (the Korean alphabet was invented some centuries later); rather all written records were in Chinese, which all educated Koreans could read and write.

    Why did the solar wind basically turn off for TWO days in 1999? Definetly not a nuclear furnace.

    As an American, it's nice to know that in the UK, people in the media or who do a lot of public speaking no longer feel the need to lose their regional style of speech and instead put on that BBC John Snagge accent.

    A couple questions. is the Photosphere the only layer that produces visible light? 2nd, if the sun didn't have the magnetic lines, would the sun be exponentially cooler?

    I always thought most of the mass in most stars is the core and radiative zone. I thought the convective zone was red hot vacuum. I might be mistaken. I am calling vacuum anything less dense than water.

    Why sun is not neutron stars if so what is the difference between neutron and hydrogen Acumullated stars as sun.

    The Sun emits a billion Kilograms per second of ionized hydrogen into space, some of it captured by Earth's gravity and magnetosphere. Considering that oxygen is the most abundant (and reactive) element it the Earth's crust, could this explain why our planet is mostly covered in water?

    • @ronaldderooij1774
      @ronaldderooij1774 5 років тому +1

      The sun is a collapsed gas cloud that was enriched by a big supernova at 20 lightyears away from that cloud. The shockwave probably initiated the collapse of the gas cloud forming the sun, but it also enriched it with all the heavy elements (including the stuff you, me and the earth is made from).

      it doesnt burn anything,
      her model is false

    • @dominiccolgan3031
      @dominiccolgan3031 4 роки тому

      You weren't paying attention to Carolin as she told you the heavier elements were from a previous supernova which formed part of the material from which the Sun was formed

      It is in human terms, forty years old. Still OK, but now we enter the phase of slow decay (increasing heliumburning slowly, very slowly begins the path to red giantism). In 800 million years the oceans on earth will start to evaporate away. The sun will get brighter and brighter and bigger and bigger, eventually swallowing our earth in 4 billion years from now.

      The 'Electric Universe' loonies are the ones who down vote these lectures. They're fanatical believers that the sun is actually heated by a stream of in-flowing electrons that somehow have evaded observation to this day. Most of them are followers of Velekovski as well.

    The magnetic field of the sun is generated by a Plasmoid Torus at its core.

      @@stevefromsaskatoon830 Well..... not quite. Only when the charges are moving it is electrified. Theoretically, you could have a non-electrified plasma, I think. And thus plasma could be regarded as the fourth state of matter and not as a gas.
