Exploring the 'Secret' of the Sun's Coldest Region With a Million Degree Temperature
As temperatures on Earth continue to rise, it may be difficult to imagine the Sun, our closest star, is actually home to the coldest region in the universe. A recent study has revealed that in the outer layers of the Sun, temperatures reach a chillingly low 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit - a million degrees colder than the Sun’s core! This incredible discovery was made by a team of scientists at the University of New Hampshire, who used computer simulations to model the behavior of plasma at the Sun’s outermost surface. The team found that the coolest temperatures were located in the Sun’s quietest regions, where the plasma is magnetically controlled.
