Scientists discovered the biggest secret of the Sun corona temperature

The largest star of our solar system i.e. ‘Sun’ remains a puzzle for scientists on many subjects. Scientists want to know why the Sun’s corona is hotter than its surface? It seems he has found the answer to this question. Scientists from the Royal Observatory of Belgium (ROB) and KU Leuven have discovered that the Sun’s corona can heat up due to magnetic waves.

Space.com’s According The Sun’s corona is about 200 times hotter than its surface photosphere. Scientists still do not know why the Sun’s corona is hotter than its surface. Scientists from ROB and KU Leuven have tried to solve this puzzle. On the basis of the evidence they have found, it has been believed that the Sun’s corona may become hotter due to magnetic waves.

To reach this conclusion, the help of the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) telescope mounted on the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter spacecraft was taken. This telescope captures the picture of the Sun’s corona in very good resolution. The images show that high-frequency waves heat the sun’s atmosphere. The study related to this has been published in Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Some more important information about the Sun has come to light through the Solar Orbiter Spacecraft. Recently, for the first time, solar shooting stars were seen on the surface of the Sun. These were different from the falling stars visible from Earth.

of the Royal Astronomical Society Report It was told that the falling stars we see could be space dust, rocks and small asteroids, which start burning as soon as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere. The meteorite-like streaks seen in the Sun are huge clusters of plasma. The Sun’s atmosphere, called the corona, is very thin. In such a situation, the plasma clusters are not able to separate from the Sun and remain on the surface of the star.
