In this layer, gravity and heat create energy that drives the process of nuclear fusion, which powers the sun and creates light. Nearly all heat from the sun is created in the core. The core is made out of dense, hot gas in a plasmic state.

This layer is responsible for radiating energy through photon emission after it has produced in the core by nuclear fusion. The radiactive zone is also less dense than the core.

This layer acquired its name because energy is transported by convection. The bottom of the convection zone is heated due to radiating energy from the radiactive zone, and the surface of the layer is cooled. This causes the convection. Light is created on the surface of the convective zone, and cools the surface.

Several features can be observed on the photosphere, including dark sunspots, the bright faculae, and granules. The photosphere is not a solid layer, and is concluded to be approximately 100 km thick.

During total eclipses, this red color can be seen in prominences that project above the sun.

To the naked eye, the corona appears as a "pearly white crown" around the sun during total eclipses.

It occurs when built up magnetic energy is released.

The sun provides energy for auroras.
