Sun Review

The inner-most layer of the sun's interior

• Core
• Convection Zone
• Radiation Zone

This process occurs in the core of the sun as larger and larger elements are formed.

• Nuclear Fission
• Nuclear Fusion
• Radiation
• Convection

This region of the Sun's interior is where gas is very tightly packed and energy can take 100,000 years to escape. 

• The core
• Radiation Zone
• Convection Zone
• Atmosphere

This is the outermost layer of the Sun's interior. Cooler gases sink, forming loops of gas that move energy towards the Sun's surface like a lava lamp.
