Document Summary
First, with respect to the sun"s atmosphere: space itself? steadily decreases with distance from the core, falling to 6000 c at its "surface". Temperature decreases with height, reaching a minimum average value of -90 c at the top of the layer. As the solar cycle progresses, newer sunspots appear closer and closer to the equator. from the sun"s corona. With respect to p and s waves: energy leaving the planet. Reflection and emission help keep the planet from getting too hot. In s or shear: which can travel through liquids/solids/both, p waves are compressional waves. By ozone? particles to oscillate faster than does the red part. In rock, s waves generally travel about 60% the speed of p waves, and the s wave always arrives after the p wave. solids, liquids and gases. Thus, s waves(which are a type of shear wave)will travel through solids and but will be absorbed by liquids and gases.
