Energy is transformed between atoms in the radiative zone of the sun. In this layer, energy moves through the absorption and re-emission of photons by atoms. This process creates a gradient of temperature and density as energy is slowly transferred from the core to the surface of the sun.
The convection zone.
The Radiative Zone.
Energy can be transferred by conduction between the Earth's lithosphere (solid outer layer) and the atmosphere (gas layer). Another example is the transfer of energy by conduction between a hot electric stove and a pot placed on it.
No, nuclear energy is not produced by sunlight. Nuclear energy is generated from the process of splitting atoms in a power plant, while sunlight produces solar energy through the fusion of hydrogen atoms in the sun.
When energy is transformed, the total amount of energy remains constant, following the law of conservation of energy. However, the form of energy may change from one type to another. Some energy may be lost as heat due to inefficiencies in the transformation process.

The second innermost layer of the sun is the radiative zone. This layer is where energy generated in the sun's core is conveyed through radiation as the photons bounce between atoms until they reach the convective zone.
The ionosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that is made of charged atoms. This layer is found between the mesosphere and the exosphere and is responsible for phenomena such as the auroras and radio wave propagation.
Oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the Earth's atmosphere absorb energy from the sun in the thermosphere. This is the layer of the atmosphere that experiences the highest temperatures due to the absorption of solar radiation.
The layer of the sun between the core and the convection zone is the radiative zone. In the radiative zone, energy moves outward primarily through the absorption and re-emission of photons by ionized atoms. This process takes place over millions of years as the energy slowly diffuses through this layer before reaching the convective zone.
The Radiative Zone.
Electrified atoms, or ions, are plentiful in the ionosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This layer is located between about 48 kilometers (30 miles) and 965 kilometers (600 miles) above the Earth's surface and is important for radio communication and the auroras.
Energy can be transferred by conduction between the Earth's lithosphere (solid outer layer) and the atmosphere (gas layer). Another example is the transfer of energy by conduction between a hot electric stove and a pot placed on it.
The middle layer of a glacier is called the "firn zone". This layer is composed of partially compacted snow that is in the process of being transformed into ice. The firn zone is found between the surface snow accumulation zone and the deeper layers of glacier ice.
