Edwin Hubble
He was a american astonomer who played a crucial role in making the feild of extragalactic astronomy and is generally regarded as one of the most important observational cosmologists of the 20th century. Hubble proved that the clouds of light atronomers saw in the night were other galaxies beyond our milky way. He made a huge discovery in 1929 he he identified the relationship betwenn a galaxys distance and the speed with which it is moving.

-How old is the sun?
-How long will the Sun last in its current state?
-Summarize the Sun's role in Climate Change
-Name two Solar missions and describe their goals
-What is the Sun's made of (Composition)
sunspots-spot or patch appearing from time to time on the sun's surface, appearing dark by contrast with its surroundings
solar active region-transient area of the solar atmosphere containing strong magnetic fields.
corona-suns outer atmosphere extending more than half a million miles from the surface .
chromosome-reddish gaseous layer immediately above the photosphere of the sun or another star.
convection zone-hot plasma rises, cools as it nears the surface, and falls to be heated and rise again
radiative zone-layer of a star's interior where energy is primarily transported toward the exterior by means of radiative diffusion, rather than by convection.
core-hottest part of the Sun and of the Solar System.
How old is the sun?4.6 billion years old
How long will the sun last in its current state? 5 billion years
Summarize the suns role in climate change: the sun has heat spots and solar flares sometimes we can feel them when it gets hotter on earth, the sun can be close and far at different times of the year.
Name 2 solar missions and describe their goals: Acrimsat & Sorce suns role in global change, earths absorption and radiation of energy.
What is the suns made of (composition)? 92.1% hydrogen 7.8%helium
