If you mean, what happens when a rock is taken to the sun's surface or closer, then:
A rock is made of atoms, which are bound together to form molecules. The molecules are bound together by sharing electrons to make up the rock as you see it. In the sun, electrons roam free because the sun consists of plasma (ionized atoms). The electrons are so energetic, if they came in contact with a rock, they would nearly instantly knock all of the other electrons free in the rock. All of the molecules in the rock would be broken down as all of the atoms become ions, and thus, a part of the plasma. Long story short, you would have no more rock, but just a bunch of ionized atoms that once made up the rock.
Because of this, it would be impossible to actually send any instrument inside of the sun. Anything we send, would be ionized.
The simple answer is that it radiates outward from the center towards the surface.
In reality is isn't that simple. Imagine the sun as a sphere made out of boiling water. The water is heated in the center of the sphere, and the decrease in density due to heat causes the hotter water to rise to the surface. At the surface the hottest water displaces cooler water, which must sink to fill the gap left in the center by the hotter water. This process continues cyclically. This cycle is known as CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER and it applies to all fluid systems. Of course the sun isn't made out of water, it is made out of pressurized hydrogen and helium, but the process remains essentially the same.

The rock simply absorbs the heat energy, so warms up.
radiation transfer sunlight to the rock ang condution transfer the rocks energy to its surroundings
The rock is absorbing electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun (mostly visible and infrared), causing its atoms to vibrate more (i.e. heat up).

The energy in oil is 'fossil' sunlight. Oil is made from the body parts of ancient microscopic sea creatures that have become trapped in the sediment in the sea floor when they died. Their bodies contain energy trapped from the sunlight when they were alive and as their bodies are squashed and heated as the sea floor sediments are compressed and turned into rock, the chemicals in them comes out and forms oil in which this sunlight energy still remains.
Potential energy. Although if the rock is pushed, moved etc. it becomes kinetic energy

A rock needs sunlight and heat to obtain energy.
The rock won't get as much sunlight & energy that it needs... but i may not be right.

Because it is the part of the rock that is exposed top sunlight.
Physical weathering begins the moment a rock body is uplifted and fractured, or exposed to the atmosphere, along with it's differences in temperature, sunlight, and water.
a rock is produced when lava cools and is transfered somewhere by an earthquake, tsunami, tornato, ect.
the fusion of tonnes of hydrogen that reaches the earth in the form of energy from the sun
Any rock that is exposed to it.

Rock exposed to very high temperature and pressure will soften or melt.
The type of rock formed when exposed to extreme temperatures and pressure is metamorphic rock.
