SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The convection zone is where energy is transported in gases to the photosphere through convection currents. The gas, or plasma, is hottest nearest to the radiative zone and coolest, denser, near the photosphere (outermost layer of the sun).

Detailed explanation-2: -A region of turbulent plasma between a star’s core and its visible photosphere at the surface, through which energy is transferred by convection. In the convection zone, hot plasma rises, cools as it nears the surface, and falls to be heated and rise again.

Detailed explanation-3: -Convection currents are identified in Earth’s mantle. Heated mantle material is shown rising from deep inside the mantle, while cooler mantle material sinks, creating a convection current. It is thought that this type of current is responsible for the movements of the plates of Earth’s crust.

Detailed explanation-4: -Convection works by areas of a liquid or gas heating or cooling greater than their surroundings, causing differences in temperature. These temperature differences then cause the areas to move as the hotter, less dense areas rise, and the cooler, more dense areas sink.
