Is the convection layer the middle layer of the sun where nuclear fusion takes place?

The Sun's fusion takes place in the core. The Convective zone brings heat to the surface by thermal convection, which is basically hot plasma coming up to the surface, then cooling and sinking.

In which part of the sun does nuclear fusion take place?
All I know is that it's either the core, chromosphere, convection layer, or the corona. Which one is it?
What layer of the sun does nuclear fusion occur?
It has to be at hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin, before a fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium will start
What layer of the sun does fusion occur?
Nuclear fusion occurs in the solar core.
What is the innermost layer of the sun's atmosphere called?
The suns core is the innermost portion or the photosphere of the sun. It's the hottest layer and under the highest pressure, enabling nuclear fusion to take place, which produces the energy. The suns core temperature is estimated to be around 13.6 million degrees Kelvin.
Is nuclear energy produced by the sunlight?
No, nuclear energy is not produced by sunlight. Nuclear energy is generated from the process of splitting atoms in a power plant, while sunlight produces solar energy through the fusion of hydrogen atoms in the sun.
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
How does plasma move through the convection layer of the sun?
convection cells
What is the layer that has convection currents that move the plates?
This layer is the mantle.
What layer of the sun's interior is where energy is released to maintain its high surface temperature while the sun radiates energy into space?
The layer of the sun's interior where energy is released to maintain its high surface temperature is the core. In the core, nuclear fusion reactions convert hydrogen into helium, releasing energy in the form of photons (light and heat) that eventually reach the sun's surface and are radiated into space.
What are convection currents and in which layer do they occur?
no
In which layer of the sun is energy transferred between atoms?
In the convection Zone!
What happens at each layer of the earth?
Conduction, Convection, Conduction,Convection, Conduction, Radiation
