   • Hydrogen atoms are squeezed together into another element ..Helium
     • This nuclear reaction releases Energy
       • The light radiates outwards from the core of the sun, In the outer layers the heat moves to the surface in huge eddie's called .. Convection cells
         • These cells create magnetic fields inside the sun..Strong magnetic fields push their way up through the surface they slow down eddies of hot gas
           • The electrically charged gas is called plasma … the plasma drags the magnetic field further outwards the
             • the magnetic field stretches and twists like the rubber band then the rubber band breaks several
               • plasma is hurled out from the sun this is called a solar storm
                 • After 18 hours the solar storm reaches earth
                   • The Earth's magnetic field deflects the storm the magnetic
                     • Earth's magnetic field deflects the storm, the magnetic fields coupled together and create a funnel for the gas steams down on the daylight side of the pole this is the daylight Aurora the magnetic fields stretch further back and couple together
