convection zone
What is a fact on the ionosphere?
# Radiation makes this zone ionized.
What color is the suns radiation zone?
red
Regions of the sun?
The regions of sun are the core,radiation zone,convection zone photosphere,chromosphere and corona.
What is the definition of Radiative zone?
The radiation zone or radiative zone is a layer of a star's interior where energy is primarily transported toward the exterior by means of radiative diffusion, rather than by convection.[1] Energy travels through the radiation zone in the form of electromagnetic radiation as photons. Within the Sun, the radiation zone is located in the intermediate zone between the solar core at .2 of the Sun's radius and the outer convection zone at .71 of the Sun's radius.[1]Matter in a radiation zone is so dense that photons can travel only a short distance before they are absorbed or scattered by another particle, gradually shifting to longer wavelength as they do so. For this reason, it takes an average of 171,000 years for gamma rays from the core of the Sun to leave the radiation zone. Over this range, the temperature of the plasma drops from 15 million K near the core down to 1.5 million K at the base of the convection zone.[2]Within a radiative zone, the temperature gradient-the change in temperature (T) as a function of radius (r)-is given by:
What are the 6 main region of the sun with meaning?
Radiation zone
How is energy transferred in the radiation zone?
By radiation
Layer that surrounds the radiation zone of the sun?
convection zone
What type of radiation is the most prevalent in the radiation zone?
X-Rays
What is an adaptive zone?
An adaptive zone is an environment which allows the development of adaptive radiation.
How does energy moves through the radiation zone and the convection zone?
The convective zone,energy is transferred much faster that it is in the radiative zone.
How energy moves through radiation zone and the convection zone?
The convective zone,energy is transferred much faster that it is in the radiative zone.
How energy energy moves through the radiation zone and the convection zone?
The convective zone,energy is transferred much faster that it is in the radiative zone.
In what layer of the sun is energy produced?
The layer of the sun's interior where energy is transfered mainly by electromagnetic radiation is the radiation zone. The light and heat produced by the sun's core first pass through the middle layer of the sun's interior, the radiation zone. The radiation zone is a region of very tightly packed gas where energy is transferred mainly in the form of electromagnetic radiation
Describe what is the Sun's Radiative 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.In some stars, it is believed that the layering is reversed, with the inner layer convective and the outer layers radiative.
What does the tropical zone receive the most?
Solar radiation.
Which layer that surrounds the core of the sun?
radiation zone
