please note:

1. energy could not be produced, it could only be converted

2. there is only one sun, there are many stars

since the question itself is obsolete, the question will be assumed as "how does the sun emit heat and light"

the sun is estimated to compose of mainly hydrogen (aprx. 75%) and the light and heat are the results of nuclear fusion

be noted that not only hydrogen is used in the sun as fuel, but i will pick hydrogen as an example

hydrogen isotopes tritium and deuterium are "crashed" together to form an new isotope, in the process there is tremendous heat, this is a type of nuclear fusion, which explains the heat part of your question

the light part could be easily explained, the materials of a star (including the sun) is in a physical state known as plasma, plasma is ionised gas which acts very differently, and photons (light particles) will be released when plasma transit between states, which occurs quite often with an assortment of reasons

Where in the Sun does the production of energy take place?

Energy production in the Sun occurs primarily in its core, where nuclear fusion takes place. In this region, hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat. This energy then moves outward through the radiative zone before reaching the convective zone, where it is transported to the surface. Ultimately, this energy radiates into space as sunlight.

Why did temperatures on the moon vary so much?

Because there is no atmosphere the greenhouse effect does not take place. All of the suns rays are reaching the moon with full power.


How long will it take the get the suns heat to earth?

It will take 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth. The actual heat of the sun does not reach all the way out to Earth. The warmth on Earth comes from the conversion of light energy to heat energy.


How does energy move from the suns core to the photosphere?

Energy produced in the Sun's core through nuclear fusion first travels outward as high-energy photons. In the radiative zone, this energy is absorbed and re-emitted by particles, a process that can take millions of years due to the dense plasma. As energy reaches the convective zone, it moves more rapidly through convective currents, where hot plasma rises to the surface and cooler plasma sinks. Finally, the energy reaches the photosphere, where it is emitted as sunlight.

Which is the innermost layer of the sun?

The suns core is the innermost portion or the photosphere of the sun. It's the hottest layer and under the highest pressure, enabling nuclear fusion to take place, which produces the energy. The suns core temperature is estimated to be around 13.6 million degrees Kelvin.

What do plants get their food from?

Plants do not make food at night because food (glucose) production is dependent upon light. Photosynthesis is powered by sunlights energy producing NADPH, and ATP. These molecules are essential for the production of glucose in the calvin cycle. Therefore without the light dependent reactions, the light independent reactions associated with photosynthesis cannot take place.

Where does energy conversion take place on the sun?

Well when you have a solar pannel your converting the suns light energy into energy that you can use. When you have lets say an ice cream, your converting the suns heat energy to energy that makes your ice cream melt. By: Linsey M. Chancellor
