As light energy
|
|
|
by convection through all the layers
|
|
|
From the outer layers to the core by convection.
|
|
|
From the core to the radition zone then by convection to the outer layers
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Energy is generated in the core, the innermost 25%. This energy diffuses outward by radiation (mostly gamma-rays and x-rays) through the radiative zone and by convective fluid flows (boiling motion) through the convection zone, the outermost 30%.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Sun’s interior is in hydrostatic equilibrium. Energy is carried away from the Sun’s core by radiative diffusion and convection.
Detailed explanation-3: -Inside the Sun, energy is created in the core and is moved from the center to the surface through both radiation and convection, similarly to how bubbles move upward in a pot of boiling water on your stove. The boundary between the Sun’s interior and the solar atmosphere is called the photosphere.
