[edit] Proposed merge of Corona (meteorology) into this article

- a mereorological corona is an entirely separate phenomenon from the solar corona.Its called beer!! Ever heard of it?!  --Urbane legend 11:06, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Agreed. Seems like a completely nonsensical merge. — Wisq 11:58, 2005 Jun 23 (UTC)
As the person who created Corona (meteorology) by splitting material out from Corona (disambiguation), I naturally agree. --OpenToppedBus - Talk 13:53, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
Okay then, that's three against. Shall we get rid of the merge template? --Urbane legend 08:59, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kelvin and Celsius

In response to the revert: A Celsius-Kelvin comparison for only two measurements? When even the topic we're comparing it to (the photosphere) only lists kelvins for its temperature? The degrees comparison takes up as much space as the actual temperature comparison, and tells the reader nothing the respective articles don't already. I won't press the issue, but it seems pretty pedantic. If the reader doesn't already know about kelvins, that's what the link is for. The main reason I edited it in the first place was because that bracketed thing really kills the flow. -- Wisq 16:31, 2005 Apr 29 (UTC)

[edit] Original research?

[edit] sunspot

can you help me find some info—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.230.203.244 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Coronal heating problem

Phonons conduct heat in metals, does fusion and or the density of mass inside a star affect the function of phonons? "Dulling" them so that the heat is present in the corona, and not at or below the surface? IDK. Thanks for reading. User: McTrixie --71.124.219.87 17:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] should have been in

I felt there should have been some information on solar flares, given off during corona,as they do reach thousands of miles into space,and is a main factor in this topic! Wongdai 09:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How do we know the corona is hot?

The article asserts that the corona is thousands times hotter than the surface and then goes on to explain that there is no single accepted theory to explain it. The article fails to clarify how we even know that the corona is hotter in the first place. Precisely what observations lead astronomers to that temperature conclusion? — Timwi 15:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

It was determined by Bengt Edlén using spectroscopy. The demiurge 16:15, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Corona Mystery

This article seems highly relevant:

http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2007/05/30/corona_spa_02.html?category=space&guid=20070530090000

It talks about the sound wave theory, with evidence I believe.

does anyone else think it important enough to include?

[edit] Meaning of "Corona"

Corona is a latin world; I remember the greek form στέφανον (stephanon) for "crown". Roberto
