Sun layer info

it's about the sun layers.

QuestionAnswer
It starts from the center and extends to 25% of the Sun's radius. Gravity pulls all of the mass inward and creates an intense pressure. Core
It extends to 50% of the sun's radius from the core. In this area, energy from the core is carried outward by photons. Radiative Zone
This one is the final 30% of the sun's radius. It is dominated by convection currents, these carry all the energy outward all the way up to the surface. Convective Zone
It is the lowest region of the sun's atmosphere. This section can be seen from Earth. It is 180-240 miles wide and it's temperature is 5,800 degrees Kelvin. Photosphere
These dark, cool areas on the sun are located on the photosphere. These spots always appear in pairs and are intense magnetic fields that break through the surface. Sunspots
It lies above the photosphere to about 1,200 miles. The temperature all around it is from 4,500 degrees kelvin to 10,000 degrees kelvin. Chromosphere
It is the final layer of the sun and extends millions of miles outward from the photosphere. It can be seen during a solar eclipse. Corona
