Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In what layer of the sun is energy produced?
A
photosphere
B
convective zone
C
chromosphere
D
core
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Core: The core of the sun is the region that extends from the center to about 20–25% of the solar radius. It is here, in the core, where energy is produced by hydrogen atoms (H) being converted into nuclei of helium (He).

Detailed explanation-2: -Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun’s core and fuse to create a helium atom. This process, known as a PP (proton-proton) chain reaction, emits an enormous amount of energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are primarily three layers that make up the atmosphere which is named as the core, the radiative zone, and the convective zone. These are the internal parts of the Sun. The centremost region of the Sun is known as the core; this is the region where Hydrogen turns into Helium through the nuclear fusion reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -The core of the Sun is home to billions and billions of atoms of hydrogen, the lightest element in the universe. The immense pressure and heat pushes these atoms so close to one another that they squish together to create new, heavier atoms. This is called nuclear fusion.
