Everyone knows that earthquakes occur on the earth, so is there also an "earthquake" on the sun? In 1962, scientists discovered 5-minute oscillations in solar oil. In oscillations, gas over a range of hundreds of thousands of kilometers on the sun's surface connects together, rising and falling simultaneously, and at any one time, about two-thirds of the total area of the sun's surface can be seen to make this oscillation. In 1976, Soviet scientists discovered that the sun's oscillation period is 160 minutes. When the oscillations reached their maximum, the diameter of the sun increased by about 10 kilometers.
