Explain how energy travels outward from the core and is emitted from the Sun. Include what happens in each layer of the Sun.

Answer:

Fusion occurs in the Sun's core, releasing energy that is transferred outward. Once in the radiative zone, gamma rays are transferred by radiation. They are converted to other types of photons, which move into the convective zone, where they are transferred by convection. Finally, energy is emitted from the photosphere.
