The convection zone is how the energy from the core is transported to the photosphere. The plasma is heated, rises to near the surface, cools and then falls back toward the core to be heated again.

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.


What visible evidence do you have that the sun has a convection zone?

Sunspots and convection cells


What does the convection zone of the sun surround?

The convection zone of the sun surrounds the radiative zone, which is the region where energy generated by nuclear fusion in the core is transported outwards through the slow process of radiative diffusion. In the convection zone, energy is transported by the movement of hot plasma, creating convection currents.


Layer that surrounds the radiation zone of the sun?

The layer that surrounds the radiation zone of the sun is the convection zone. In this zone, energy is transferred by the movement of hot plasma rising and cooler plasma sinking, creating a convection current. This process allows energy to be transported from the core to the surface of the sun.

How long does it take for a photon to move to the convection zone?

It takes about 100,000 years for a photon to move from the core of the sun to the convection zone. Photons created in the core of the sun have to undergo a random walk through the dense radiative zone before finally reaching the less dense convection zone.

How does energy from the sun's core to the photosphere?

It goes out from the core into the radiation zone then into the convection zone where convection happens then it goes to the photosphere to become granules.
