As the sun their energy dissipates

With solution mystery, why the extreme atmosphere of the sun, which is many hotter corona, than the sun surface, is a team around Steve Tomczyk a crucial step further come. The researchers proved a certain sort of electromagnetic waves, which energy from the sun inside can transport outward.

The corona is to be seen from the earth normally only during a total solar eclipse. Their weak light is completely over-radiated by that the sun. Although the corona consists of a thin plasma, prevails there an extreme heat of two million degree. The surface of the sun, the photosphere, is against it only 6,000 degrees Celsius hot. From where the necessary energy comes to heating the corona, sun researchers do not know so far exactly. They have however a suspicion: Over certain electromagnetic waves, the Alfvén waves in such a way specified, the energy could be outward transported by the sun inside.
