wiki Word: Convection Zone |
||||||
Definition: region of turbulent plasma between a star's core and its visible photosphere at the surface, through which energy is transferred by convection. In the convection zone, hot plasma rises, cools as it comes to the surface, and falls and heats then rises again! |

The Convection zone is the furthest layer of the suns interior.Hot gases come up from the bottom of the convection zone and gradually cool as they come towards the top of the convection zone.Cooler gases sink towards the bottom, forming loops of gas, they move energy towards the suns surface.
