The zone of the sun where photons travel from atom to atom is called the "photosphere". The photosphere is the visible surface of the sun and is composed of ionized gas and photons. Photons are essentially particles of light that travel through the sun\'s atmosphere bouncing off the surrounding gas and dust particles. The photosphere is about 500 km thick and is the layer of the sun that we can see with the naked eye.

Plant take in the sun's energy by absorbing?
Sunlight, in the form of photons.
How does the transfer of energy in the radiative zone differ from the transfer of energy in the convective zone?
In the radiative zone, energy moves from atom to atom in the form of electromagnetic waves, or radiation. Energy produced in the core moves through this zone by convection, the transfer of energy by moving liquids or gases.
In Which layer of the sun are gamma photons produced?
The core
Which layer of the sun are gamma rays photons produced?
The core
What is the energy that excites p680 and p700 is supplied by what?
sunlight from the sun
Does energy travels through the radiactive zone of the sun at the speed of light?
Perhaps you mean the "radiative" zone. Not exactly. Well, the photons are emitted by an atom, and travel at the speed of light... but then, they are absorbed quite soon by some other atom. The end result is that it takes the energy over a hundred thousand years to get out of the radiative zone.
In which region of the Sun does energy move as waves that transfer from atom to atom photosphere corona core radiative zone chromosphere convective zone?
The portion of the sun in which energy moves from atom to atom in the form of waves is called the?
What part of the sun in which energy moves from atom to atom in the form of electromagnetic waves is called?
Conection Zone
What is the part of the sun in which energy moves from atom to atom in the form of electromagnetic waves called?
Energy that is conducted via electromagnetic waves is conducted via radiation. The corresponding portion of the sun that moves energy this way is the radiative zone, located between the core and the convective zone.
What Out comes of the Sun?
Photons.
What do plants get directly from the sun?
Photons
Plant take in the sun's energy by absorbing?
Sunlight, in the form of photons.
What color are most of the photons that leave the Sun's surface?
The surface temperature of the sun is roughly 5,800K, so the color of most of the photons that leave the sun's surface is green.
How big is the sun's radiation zone?
The radiation zone is the "middle part" of the interior of the Sun. It is adjacent to the core. In this zone, energy travels between the atoms as photons of gamma radiation. Above the radiative zone is the convective zone. Scientists estimate that core energy takes as long as 170,000 years to travel through the dense matter of the radiative zone.According to NASA, the Sun's radiative zone begins about 108,125 miles from the center of the Sun and ends about 302,750 miles from the center of the sun. So the radiative zone makes up 32 percent of the Sun's volume and 48 percent of its mass.The exterior of the Sun, where radiation again occurs, is called the photosphere. In some larger stars, the outer layer is radiative and is substantially thicker.
The sun loses energy by emittting what?
photons
How does the transfer of energy in the radiative zone differ from the transfer of energy in the convective zone?
In the radiative zone, energy moves from atom to atom in the form of electromagnetic waves, or radiation. Energy produced in the core moves through this zone by convection, the transfer of energy by moving liquids or gases.
What is the function of the chlorophyll in the leaves of plants?
it grabs the photons from the sun and use these photons to produce sugars or enegry for them.
