Question

  1. how is energy transferred from the core of the sun to its surface? (1 point)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Energy transfer in the Sun from the core to the surface occurs mainly through two processes. In the core, nuclear fusion generates energy. This energy first travels outward via radiation in the radiative zone, where photons are absorbed and re - emitted. Then, in the outer layers, convection takes over, with hot gas rising and cooler gas sinking, transporting energy to the surface.

Answer:

Energy is transferred from the core of the Sun to its surface through radiation in the radiative zone and convection in the convective zone.
