Question

Magnetic fields on the sun are produced by the sun’s uneven rotation and:

A. The movement of sunspots on the sun’s surface.
B. The movement of gases in the corona.
C. Gases in the convective zone.
D. Gases in the radiation zone.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - C. Gases in the convective zone.

Step-by-step explanation:

The heat of the sun causes the atoms to be ionized and create a charged gas known as plasma. These gases or plasma are move in the convective zone with the uneven and rapid rotation of the sun.

This creates the electric currents due to the charge in gases which ultimately create magnetic fields. Sun's rotation causes the sun's overall magnetic field to have some degree of order and to be somewhat stable over time.
