<span>In 2010, scientists did a </span>reanalysis of the old Apollo seismic data and looked into the moon quakes (earthquakes on the moon) and discovered  the Moon has an iron core with a radius of 330 ± 20 km. The same reanalysis gave evidence that  the inner core of the moon was solid and was made of iron that has the radius of 240 ± 10 km. The core is surrounded by the somewhat melted layer of the lower mantle with a radius of <span>480 ± 20 km. </span>The temperature inside the core has been estimated to be about 1600 to1700 K. (In other words 2420.33 to 2600.33 F)

Which of the following layers of the Sun can be seen with some type of telescope? Consider all forms of light, but do not consid
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The  photosphere, the chromosphere and the ionosphere.

Explanation:

You did not list any layers in your question, however, the sun is composed of mainly 6 layers;

  1. The core
  2. The radiative zone
  3. The convective zone
  4. The photosphere
  5. The chromosphere
  6. The corona

The photosphere is the visible layer of the sun, however, it is very bright even when viewed with a telescope. A filter has to be used to reduce the intensity of the light. This filter is called a myler filter. It is added to the lens of the telescope. Using this, the photosphere can be seen using a telescope.

The chromosphere is an irregular layer above the photosphere. Due to the extremly high temperature, hydrogen emits light which gives off a reddish color. This is known as the H-alpha emmision. Therefore, to see this layer with a telescope, a special filter have to be fitted to the lens of the telescope. This filter is called the hydrogen alpha filter.

The corona is the outermost part of the sun atmosphere, however, it is hidden by the sun's bright surface. It can be seen during a total eclipse. This is when the moon covers the bright photosphere.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

In 1849, Californians sought statehood and, after heated debate in the U.S. Congress arising out of the slavery issue, California entered the Union as a free, nonslavery state by the Compromise of 1850. California became the 31st state on September 9, 1850. ... California situated its first capital in San Jose.

The northern boundary was set along the 42nd parallel. The southern boundary had already determined by the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo with Mexico. The northeast corner of the state would be the point where the 42nd parallel met the 120th meridian, to include the Sierras.
