The Sun's Energy — Quiz

Question 13 • Physics

Which description best models the energy transfer that occurs in the radiative zone?

Answer
A
A baton is handed from one runner to the next, around a track.
B
A dropped wallet is kicked around the floor of a busy train station.
C
A ball is thrown by a player to a fan in the stands.
D
A suitcase on a conveyor belt is moved from a plane to the baggage claim area.

Explanation

In the Sun’s radiative zone, energy moves outward as photons are repeatedly absorbed and re-emitted by particles. This makes the energy’s path slow and irregular, like a dropped wallet being kicked around a busy train station. The other examples suggest a more direct, orderly transfer.
