Question
this region of the sun is located near the radiative zone and extends down over 124 000 miles (200 000 km) from the surface. once hot materials travel from the radiation zone to the photosphere and cool, they drop back into the base of this region. what region is being described here?
○
the core
○
the convection zone
○
the photosphere
○
the corona
The Sun's convection zone is located between the radiation zone and the photosphere. Hot materials rise from the radiation zone to the photosphere, cool, and then sink back to the base of the convection zone—matching the description provided. The core is the innermost region (not near the radiation zone), the photosphere is the visible surface (not where materials sink back to its base), and the corona is the outermost atmosphere (far from the radiation zone).
