Helioseismology is the study of the propagation of pressure waves (or acoustic waves) in the Sun's interior. By observing the Sun's surface oscillations and vibrations, scientists can infer details about its internal structure and dynamics, much like how seismologists study earthquakes to learn about the Earth's interior. This technique allows for insights into solar plasma behaviors, temperature gradients, and magnetic fields within the Sun.
congrats on reading the definition of helioseismology. now let's actually learn it.
