- The growing core burns the Sun's hydrogen yet more rapidly, which in turn only enlarges the core more rapidly. . . . In short, in the end, the nuclear furnace at the center of every star begins to overheat. To put numbers on this, when the Sun was formed 4.5 billion years ago it was about 30% dimmer than at present.

- The core extends from the sun's center to about a quarter of the way to its surface. Although it only makes up roughly 2 percent of the sun's volume, it is almost 15 times the density of lead and holds nearly half of the sun's mass. Next is the radiative zone, which extends from the core to 70 percent of the way to the sun's surface, making up 32 percent of the sun's volume and 48 percent of its mass.

- For stars near sun's mass, the gravitational force is great enough to squeeze the center and make it hot enough for the star to start fusing helium into other light elements. This renewal of energy causes the star to swell into a red-giant and shed some of the outer layers into space as a planetary nebula.

Why is it so hot inside Earth's core? Although it's very difficult to find out the temperature at great depths, the core may be between about 7,000 and 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit. To appreciate how hot that is, the surface of the Sun is about 10,000 degrees, so our planet's core might be hotter than the surface of a star! Narrator: OK . . . well, how did it get that way? Marc: Our planet formed from many smaller bits of rock that collided and stuck together when the solar system was developing more than four and a half billion years ago.

How is a star's color related to its temperature? Hotter still is the core. In the sun this is thought to be 10 - 20 million degrees. These temperatures are due to the pressure caused by gravity trying to compress the star. It has to be this temperature for fusion of hydrogen to take place.

What happens to a star when it's exhaust the supply of hydrogen in its core? Share to: When a main sequence star, such as our sun, exhausts it's supply of Hydrogen, fusion of Hydrogen to Helium ceases in the core. This results in cooling of the core and therefor … e causes it to contract.

- When the temperature in the core reaches about 100 million degrees, the helium will begin to fuse into carbon by a reaction known as the triple-alpha process, because it converts three helium nuclei into one carbon atom.This generates a great deal of heat.n heavier stars, the oxygen can in turn fuse with the helium to make neon.) Helium fusion produces only 9% as much energy per kilogram as hydrogen fusion, so energy-wise, the Sun continues to be mainly a hydrogen reactor. 90% of its luminosity still comes from burning hydrogen.

Earthâs Sun: Facts About the Sunâs Age, Size and History The photosphere is the lowest layer of the sun's atmosphere, and emits the light we see. It is about 300 miles (500 km) thick, although most of the light comes from its lowest third. Temperatures in the photosphere range from 11,000 F (6,125 C) at bottom to 7,460 F (4,125 C) at top.unspots are relatively cool, dark features on the sun's surface that are often roughly circular. They emerge where dense bundles of magnetic field lines from the sun's interior break through the surface. [ Related: Largest Sunspot in 24 Years Wows Scientists, But Also Mystifies ].

A Look Inside Our Nearest Star! The temperature patterns in the Sun are not well understood. The core has a very high temperature of more that 15 million degrees Kelvin. As you move away from the heat producing core the temperature drops to about 6000 degrees at the photosphere, the effective surface of the Sun.

How hot is the Sun, its surface and core? How long does it take the Sun's rays to reach the Earth? Fusion happens in the core of the Sun. This fusion process not only heats the Sun, it makes the sunlight we see here on Earth. This sunlight travels the speed of light which is 186,282 miles per second or 299,792,458 meters per second.

The Center Of The Earth May Be Hotter Than The Sun's Surface The Center Of The Earth May Be Hotter Than The Sun's Surface. The surface of the Sun is hot – over 5500 degrees Celsius (which is nearly 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit . But if new findings are correct, then the center of our own planet may actually be hotter – over 1,000 degrees hotter than previously thought.

The Sun's Radiative Zone In the convective zone, heat and energy are carried outward along with matter in swirling flows called convection cells. This motion is similar to the roiling flows seen in a pot of boiling water. The inner parts of the Sun (core and radiative zone) spin differently than the outer layers (convective zone).n the convective zone, heat and energy are carried outward along with matter in swirling flows called convection cells.

- The sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion .During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun’s core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium atom. During the fusion process, radiant energy is released. It can take 150,000 years for energy in the sun’s core to make its way to the solar surface, and then just a little over eight minutes to travel the 93 million miles to Earth.

Astronomy As the clump becomes more dense, it becomes opaque. Escaping IR radiation is trapped, and the temperature and pressure in the center begin to increase. At some point, the pressure stops the infall of more gas into the core and the object becomes stable as a protostar. The protostar, at first, only has about 1% of its final mass. But the envelope of the star continues to grow as infalling material is accreted. After a few million years, thermonuclear fusion begins in its core, then a strong stellar wind is produced which stops the infall of new mass.

- The Inner Core of the Sun is the main engine of this star. Here, gravity and heat provide the necessary energy to drive the nuclear fusion processes that power the sun. In the core, the fusion processes called the Proton-Proton Cycle and the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen Cycle take place.

- Thermonuclear fusion in the core of the Sun releases energy in the form of lethal gamma rays. Nuclear forces are very short range and fusion can only occur when nuclei are packed very tightly, which occurs naturally inside the Sun due to the extreme gravitational force of the Sun's great mass.

- The mass of the Sun is tremendous. It makes up 99.8% of the mass of our solar system. The Sun is mostly made of hydrogen with smaller amounts of helium in the form of plasma. The main part of the Sun has three layers: the core, the radiative zone, and the convection zone.

(i). Earth-Sun Relationships and Insolation If the Sun is 45° above the horizon, the incoming insolation strikes the Earth's surface at an angle. This causes the rays to be spread out over a larger surface area reducing the intensity of the radiation. Figure 6i-1 models the effect of changing the angle of incidence from 90 to 45°.

- The power generator in the Sun is in its center, buried deeply within it. It is called the core, with a radius close to one fourth of that of the star (see the figure above). In the core, pressures and temperatures are high enough to force fusion, that is, nuclear reactions whereby some nuclei merge to make others. It is the type of reaction that powers a hydrogen bomb. The most important reaction within the core of the Sun is the process called the proton-proton cycle..

THE NATURES OF THE STARS Begin with stars more or less like the Sun, those with masses from about 0.8 times that of the Sun to about 5 times the solar mass. When the fuel in a solar-type star's core runs out, the helium core contracts under the effect of gravity and heats up.uch stars can have diameters tens of times that of the Sun. The giant and subsequent stages up to the actual death of the star (the end of nuclear fusion) takes roughly 10 or 20 percent of the main sequence lifetime.

- In the Sun's outer layer, from its surface to approximately 200,000 km below (70% of the solar radius from the center), the temperature is lower than in the radiative zone and heavier atoms are not fully ionized. As a result, radiative heat transport is less effective.he Sun has a magnetic field that varies across the surface of the Sun. Its polar field is 1–2 gauss (0.0001–0.0002 T), whereas the field is typically 3,000 gauss (0.3 T) in features on the Sun called sunspots and 10–100 gauss (0.001–0.01 T) in solar prominences. The magnetic field also varies in time and location.
