These reactions release the energy that ultimately leaves the surface as visible light. These reactions are highly sensitive to temperature and density.]]> 2016-12-13 15:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/draven_helm/w44f8pizkw77/wish/143392229 draven_helm https://padlet.com/draven_helm/w44f8pizkw77/wish/143394652 The Sun's radiative zone is the section of the solar interior between the innermost core and the outer convective zone. In the radiative zone, energy generated by nuclear fusion in the core moves outward as electromagnetic radiation.]]> 2016-12-13 15:50:28 UTC https://padlet.com/draven_helm/w44f8pizkw77/wish/143394652 draven_helm https://padlet.com/draven_helm/w44f8pizkw77/wish/143823550 It extends from a depth of 200,000 km up to the visible surface of the Sun. Energy is transported by convection in this region. The surface of the convection zone is where light (photons) is created. This top layer is called the photosphere.]]> 2016-12-15 13:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/draven_helm/w44f8pizkw77/wish/143823550 draven_helm https://padlet.com/draven_helm/w44f8pizkw77/wish/143825480 The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun that we are most familiar with.]]> 2016-12-15 13:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/draven_helm/w44f8pizkw77/wish/143825480 draven_helm https://padlet.com/draven_helm/w44f8pizkw77/wish/143827310 light from the chromosphere is usually too weak to be seen against the brighter photosphere.
