The ordinary solar spectrum is produced by the photosphere; during an eclipse the brilliant photosphere is blocked out by the Moon and three objects are visible: (1) a thin, pink ring around the edge of the Sun called the chromosphere, (2) a pearly, faint halo extending a great distance, known as the corona, and (3) pink clouds of gas called prominences suspended above the surface. When flash spectra (spectra of the atmosphere during an eclipse) were first obtained, astronomers found several surprising features. First, instead of absorption lines they saw emission lines (bright lines at certain wavelengths with nothing between them). This effect arises because the chromosphere is transparent between the spectrum lines, and only the dark sky is seen. Second, they discovered that the strongest lines were due to hydrogen, yet they still did not appreciate its high abundance. Finally, the next brightest lines had never been seen before; because they came from the Sun, the unknown source element came to be called helium. Later, helium was found on Earth.

in cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. a contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes.

explanation:

What do lines on a contour map indicate?

Answer from: Quest

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.

The big bang nucleosynthesis theory states that elements were produced in the first few minutes of the big bang while elements have their origins in the interiors of stars, forming much later in the history of the universe.
