Why Atmospheric Temperature Solar Much Higher?

Washington - Researchers have identified the evolution of the inside and outside of the Sun, and discover how the mechanisms that occur in the Sun's atmosphere, causing the temperature is hotter than the surface.

The temperature at the core of the Sun reaches 15 million degrees Celsius. Increasingly toward the outermost layer, the temperature decreases. Up on the outermost layer on the surface of the sun, the temperature of 'only' 6,000 degrees Celsius.

So, it should be if the Sun's atmosphere, the temperature decreases. But in fact, what happens is not the case. At chromosfer sun, the temperature was recorded at 10,000 degrees Celsius. Towards the corona, the temperature even reach millions of degrees Celsius. Why?

Researchers used sophisticated numerical models on the computer, and perform simulations to study the mechanisms of heat in each layer of the Sun.

From the simulation results, it appears that the thin layer below the surface of the Sun acts like a frying pan, heat the plasma from the layer below it until foamy, reports Nationalgeographic citing ScienceDaily.

Plasma that has been 'cooked' is generating dynamo process so as to create a magnetic field. When a magnetic field that rises to the surface, its function is associated as salt and herbs that make savory food, makes concentration on the surface of the sun higher later dubbed mesospot.

When an eruption on the surface of the Sun around mesospot, eruptions that generate magnetic waves, carrying energy into the corona surface, so heat channeled from the corona into the atmosphere.
