What is the convective zone of the sun made out of?
Matter, obviosly.
What are the three parts of the interior if the sun?
The radiative zone, the convective zone, and the photosphere.
What are the three main parts of the sun?
The core, the radiative zone, and the convective zone.
What is the layer of the sun through which energy travels by convection from the radiative zone to the atmosphere?
From the Sun's core, energy moves through the radiative zone, across the tachocline (transition layer) to the convective zone, and then to the outer convective zone with its visible granulation.
Name and briefly describe the main regions of the sun?
The three main parts of the sun are the core, the convective zone, and the radiative zone.

What is convective zone?
A convection zone is the final process of the sun's radius. Energy from the sun is carried outward to the surface by convection currents.
How hot is the radiative zone in the sun?
The Sun's radiative zone is the section of the solar interior between the innermost core and the outer convective zone. In the radiative zone, energy generated by nuclear fusion in the core moves outward as electromagnetic radiation. In other words, the energy is conveyed by photons. When the energy reaches the top of the radiative zone, it begins to move in a different fashion in the convective zone. In the convective zone, heat and energy are carried outward along with matter in swirling flows called convection cells. This motion is similar to the roiling flows seen in a pot of boiling water. The inner parts of the Sun (core and radiative zone) spin differently than the outer layers (convective zone). The boundary between these two types of rotation, which lies between the radiative and convective zones, is called the tachocline. Many other stars also have radiative zones. The Sun's radiative zone extends from the core outward to about 70% of the Sun's radius. In a smaller (than the Sun) star that is cooler than our Sun, the convective zone tends to be larger, extending deeper into the star's interior. Thus the radiative zone tends to be smaller. In very small, cool stars the convective zone may reach all the way to the star's core, and there may be no radiative zone at all. In a larger (than the Sun) star with a higher temperature, the radiative zone tends to be larger and the convective zone smaller. Especially large, hot stars may not have a convective zone at all - their radiative zone may extend all the way from the core to the star's surface.
What function does the sun's convective zone perform?
Carries energy upward by convection.
What do the movement of gases in the sun's convective zone and the movements caused by the sun's rotation produce?
Magnetic Fields
