Question

question 9 of 28 which sentence describes the process of fusion in the sun? a. fusion occurs as atoms collide in the convection zone. b. fusion occurs in the photosphere, releasing light toward earth. c. fusion occurs in the core and then energy is carried outward. d. fusion occurs as energy is transferred in the radiation zone.

Explanation:

In the Sun, nuclear fusion occurs in the core where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a vast amount of energy. This energy is then carried outward from the core. The convection zone is for convective heat - transfer, the photosphere is the visible surface from which light is emitted, and the radiation zone is for radiative heat - transfer. Fusion doesn't occur in the convection, photosphere, or radiation zones as described in options A, B, and D.

Answer:

C. Fusion occurs in the core and then energy is carried outward.
