Sunspots are dark because . a. the strong magnetic field inhibits the currents of hot gas rising from below. b. of shock waves moving through the photosphere. c. they have a different chemical composition than the rest of the sun. d. regions of the photosphere are obscured by material in the chromosphere.

a) the strong magnetic field inhibits the currents of hot gas rising from below.

Explanation:

Sunspots are dark because they are a little cooler than the photo sphere.

The magnetic field inhibits the strong rising currents of hot gas,allowing it to cool the surface.

true

explanation:

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
