Question 3 • GCS 2025-2026 Earth Environmental Science CR

Which processes transfer energy from the core to the photosphere?

Answer
A
radiation, then friction
B
convection, then conduction
C
radiation, then convection
D
conduction, then friction

Explanation

Energy travels outward from the Sun’s core through the radiative zone mainly by radiation. In the outer layers, convection carries energy upward toward the photosphere. Therefore, the correct choice is “radiation, then convection.”
