How does plasma move through the convection layer of the sun?
convection cells
The heat from the sun reaches Earth through convection true or false?
That statement is false. The heat from the sun does NOTreach the Earth through convection.
The zone of the sun where gases circulate?
convection
What color is the convection zone of the sun?
orange
The sun's heat is distributed throughout the world by?
convection
Does convection occur in the core of a star?
No, Convection does not occur in the Core. For example, in the Sun, the convection occurs only after the Radiation zone. In the radiation zone the energy is transported by radiation (ie, by photons). At about 0.8 solar radius the density and temperature are not enough to transport the energy by radiation, so convection sets in.
Would there still be convection in the oceans if earth stopped getting energy from the sun?
There are other sources of heat in the oceans besides the sun.. Most are underwater magma or gas outlets. However, the majority of heat in the oceans does come from the sun. Heat is necessary for convection to occur. There is a possibility for localized convection due to the alternate heat sources, but most, if not all convection would cease without the sun.

In which layer of the sun does granulation occur?
A grainy cloud like substance that comes from the convection area under the photosphere.
A circular flow of warmer fluid and cooler fluid is called a?
A convection current, however, this can also occur with gases.

Where does convection occur?
Convection occurs when and where a fluid is in a gravity field and heat is applied to its base.
How is energy transferred from the core to the surface of sun by convection?
By convection
What are convection currents and in which layer do they occur?
no
How does heat loss occur?
It can occur through conduction, convection and radiation.
What visible evidence do you have that the sun has a convection zone?
Sunspots and convection cells
How does plasma move through the convection layer of the sun?
convection cells
