what is the granulation in the sun
I love granulation, there are some amazing videos of it and it reminds me of billions of worms or maggots all crawling over each other. Granules on the âphotosphereâ of the Sun are caused by convection currents of plasma within the Sunâs âconvectiveâ zone. The grainy look is produced by the tops of these convective cells and is called granulation. I donât think anyone knows exactly what is going on with granulation, but I donât think it is directly due to the magnetic field changing like that. The magnetic field at the Sun does change, but not that quickly. However, plasma can get âstuckâ to magnetic field, so if the plasma moves around that fast maybe it could take the mag field with itâ¦.. The rising part of the granules is located in the center where the plasma is hotter.
