This article will talk about an important part of the universe — the sun — and how it works. There are many parts to the sun, but the rotating outer layer is what we focus on.
The rotating outer layer contains a complex system called a plasmaic current. The system moves energy throughout the sun, helping it to generate and maintain its internal temperature.
The current also plays a role in Earth’s weather, as strong solar wind streams pass through us and cause storms across our planet.

Corona
The region of the sun called Corona is a candidate for being the location of energy moving through circulating currents of gases. This region is located in the middle of the solar system, so its existence is not proof that there is some powerful force operating in this area.
However, there are many reasons to believe that this region does operate under pressure and has cycles of expansion and contraction. If true, this would mean that we could find evidence of ancient civilizations that operated water-based machines to power their cities and transport systems.
There have been claims that planets outside our solar system may have similar features to Earth, but less pronounced. If these planets have a similar surface environment as Earth, then it would stand to reason that they would have similar landscapes and climate conditions.
If such an environment did exist, then it would support similar geological periods to those on Earth. There are numerous sites around the world where historical artifacts or structures support this theory.
Photosphere
The term photosphere refers to the layer of a star that is responsible for generating light. When a star is young, it has a warm, soft photosphere that is composed of hot gas that flows through the stellar interior.
As the star grows, this warm gas is pushed out and up toward the photosphere. This mass-produced heat increases the size and age of the star, making it more powerful.
When a star dies, it discharges what’s called an ejecta flow. This flow consists of gases and grains that come from the star and travels down into a planet or small moon orbiting its parent object.
These flows have been found to contain molecules not found in our own atmosphere, such as H20 and C4, which indicate there was once life on these objects.
Chromosphere
The chromosphere is the region of the Sun above the photosphere. It consists of different gases and plasma that exist in isolated pockets within the Sun.
These plasma and gas pockets are called prominences, and they form along a magnetic field. The prominences are connected by lines of energy, or circulations. These lines of energy represent currents of gas and plasma.
The circulations move vast quantities of energy, or heat, throughout the Sun. Some of this heat goes into space, but most is returned to Earth as electromagnetic radiation. This heat makes its way back to Earth as geomagnetic storms that can cause surges in electricity grids and satellite power supplies.
These storms can dramatically change our weather conditions on Earth by causing temps to rise or fall suddenly.
Solar core
A circulating current of gases, called a geomagnetic field, surrounds the Sun. This invisible current moves energy from the Sun’s interior to its surface.
This current varies slightly each day, moving in a circle that varies over months and years. This circulation changes where the Sun is in its cycle, but it always lies on the ecliptic – the flat plane that surrounds the Sun.
The current moves through four regions of the solar core: alpha, beta, gamma, and omega. These regions contain more powerful magnetic fields than the others do.
These fields increase and decrease in strength depending on what process is moving energy through them. For example, when a flare occurs near one of these fields, it can cause some of this energy to escape and enter another region of the core.
Radiative zone
The term radiative zone was coined to describe a region of the Sun where gases and other matter are drawn to the Sun’s strong magnetic field to move through it. This area is comparable to the center of the earth surrounded by a strong, constant magnetic field.
The term was borrowed from solar physics, where a similar term is used. In this area, charged particles called Radiata are dispersed throughout the Suns atmosphere and surface. These exist alongside neutral gas and dust particles, which do not participate in any magnetic field*.
These particles are often called cosmic rays because they originate outside of our atmosphere and travel directly to the Suns surface without being affected by atmospheric winds. They consist mostly of positrons, an unknown particle with no known role in weather or climate.*
*(Note: This unknown positron particle is not included in this article due to space constraints.
Convective zone
The convective zone is a term that refers to the area of the sun where dust and debris from the solar system, including Earth, orbits.
The region is named after the swirling mass of dust and solar particle orbiting the sun. This dust affects how energy moves through the solar system, including Earth.
Some of these movements can be significant! For example, in 1998, researchers reported a change in brightness near Earth’s orbit that they attributed to a passing comet. This was one of only a handful of occurrences where an astronomical body has changed brightness due to an interaction with another body.
This event was so insignificant that it would take thousands of computers and cameras around the world to detect it. However, since then, other interactions have occurred which caused changes in brightness for Earth.
Sunspots
Several theories have been proposed to explain why some places on Earth are warmer than others. One theory is that the Sun heats up its surrounding space through a process called solar activity.
Another theory is that the location of a planet or city influences how much heat it receives from the Sun. Many studies have shown that small bodies in space such as planets and satellites receive more heat from the Sun than larger objects do.
In this article, we will discuss other theories that explain why certain places are warmer than others, as well as how this can be used in predicting weather conditions.
The biggest supporters of these other theories are people who believe that there was a large world-wide catastrophe years ago that left certain places hotter than others. This could be something like an asteroid or comet impact, or something caused by a super storm years ago. Either way, it affected where we are today and why we are where we are.
Solar flares
When a large amount of solar energy is concentrated in one area, it can be swept away in a powerful surge of electric energy. This is called a flare, and happens when these small amounts of solar energy are combined together.
A flare is typically visible with an orange or red glow, as well as a long-lasting spike in solar power. These flares happen every few years, due to the continuous concentrating of small amounts of sun power.
These flares can be very dangerous! Many countries use them as tests for their main power source, since they can go out for months without supply.
