In the convection zone, material close to the surface rises as heat moves outward from the lower layers of the surface. Upon the release of the heat of the gas at the surface, the gas drops down again as it replaced by the hotter gases below.

What part of the suns under the photosphere?
Convective zone.
Why are sunspots darker than the surrounding area?
Sunspots are regions of strong magnetic activity, which inhibits convection from below. The combination of the up-and down movement of gases within the Sun's convective zone and the movement of the sun's rotation produces magnetic fields. These magnetic fields slow down activity in the convective zone. Slower convection means that less gas is transferring heat from the core of the sun to the photosphere. Therefore, regions of the photosphere near strong magnetic fields are up to 3000 degrees Celsius cooler than surrounding areas.
Which of the following is NOT a region of the Sun Deuterium nucleus The core The convective zone The visible surface?
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen, not a region of the sun.
The abyssal zone is noted for its warm temperatures created by escaping gases?
False. The abyssal zone is not noted for its warm temperatures that are created by escaping gases.
What is the part of the sun in which energy moves from atom to atom in the form of electromagnetic waves called?
Energy that is conducted via electromagnetic waves is conducted via radiation. The corresponding portion of the sun that moves energy this way is the radiative zone, located between the core and the convective zone.
What do the movement of gases in the sun's convective zone and the movements caused by the sun's rotation produce?
Magnetic Fields
What does The Convective Zone do?
it does
What is the zone of the sun where gases go?
The Sun is entirely made out of gases (mainly Hydrogen), but in a sate called 'plasma'. In the core of the Sun the plasma radiates, above this in the convective zone the plasma transfers heat to the surface by a process of convection.
What are the main part of the sun?
The core, the radiative zone, and the convective zone.
What color is the convective zone in the sun?
Rainbow
What are the three main part of the sun?
The core, the radiative zone, and the convective zone.
What are the three parts of the interior if the sun?
The radiative zone, the convective zone, and the photosphere.
What are the three main parts of the sun?
The core, the radiative zone, and the convective zone.
Which area of the sun do sunspots appear?
they are in the convective zone
What is the convective zone of the sun made out of?
Matter, obviosly.
What part of the suns under the photosphere?
Convective zone.
What is the layer of the sun through which energy travels by convection from the radiative zone to the atmosphere?
From the Sun's core, energy moves through the radiative zone, across the tachocline (transition layer) to the convective zone, and then to the outer convective zone with its visible granulation.
