The innermost layer of the sun is the core. With a density of 160 g/cm^3, 10 times that of lead, the core might be expected to be solid. However, the core's temperature of 15 million kelvins (27 million degrees Fahrenheit) keeps it in a gaseous state.
In the core, fusion reactions produce energy in the form of gamma rays and neutrinos. Gamma rays are photons with high energy and high frequency. The gamma rays are absorbed and re-emitted by many atoms on their journey from the envelope to the outside of the sun. When the gamma rays leave atoms, their average energy is reduced. However, the first law of thermodynamics (which states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed) plays a role and the number of photons increases. Each high-energy gamma ray that leaves the solar envelope will eventually become a thousand low-energy photons.
The neutrinos are extremely nonreactive. To stop a typical neutrino, one would have to send it through a light-year of lead! Several experiments are being performed to measure the neutrino output from the sun. Chemicals containing elements with which neutrinos react are put in large pools in mines, and the neutrinos' passage through the pools can be measured by the rare changes they cause in the nuclei in the pools. For example, perchloroethane contains some isotopes of chlorine with 37 particles in the nucleus (17 protons, 20 neutrons). These Cl-37 molecules can take in neutrinos and become radioactive Ar-37 (18 protons, 19 neutrons). From the amount of argon present, the number of neutrinos can be calculated.
The core of the sun has a temperature of about 15 million Kelvin (K).
The sun.
Yes, the surface of the sun is cooler than its core. The core of the sun can reach temperatures of about 15 million degrees Celsius, while the surface temperature is around 5,500 degrees Celsius.
In the context of the sun, the core refers to the central region where nuclear fusion reactions occur. These reactions generate energy by converting hydrogen into helium, powering the sun's heat and light. The core is the hottest and densest part of the sun.
The reason why the surface of the sun is colder than the sun's core is because the surface is father from the core of the sun.As you get deeper and closer to the sun's core,it gets hotter and hotter because your getting closer to the sun's core which is 15,000,000 F and 13,000,000 C
The core just means the centre. Therefore, the core of the Sun is in the centre of the Sun.
the sun's core is the hottest part of the sun
If you are asking where does solar nuclear fusion take place, then that would be at the core of stars.
The core of the sun has a temperature of about 15 million Kelvin (K).
There's hydrogen at the core of the sun - that's the sun's main fuel - but earth's core is mostly iron and nickel.
No it is not, however it is similar to that of the sun's surface
The sun is much hotter than the Earth's core. The sun's core temperature reaches millions of degrees Celsius, whereas the Earth's core temperature is estimated to be around 5,000 degrees Celsius.
The Sun's core.
The sun.
The sun's core is hotter, it is about 30 billion degrees Celsius.
You are already closer to the earths core than you will ever be able to get to the sun
The sun's core can range to a temperature of around 27 million degrees Fahrenheit.
