Sahil is making a graphic novel in which the villain plans to reduce the rate at which energy is released from the Sun. The villain’s device can make a hollow sphere of material have a uniform density.

How should Sahil’s villain use the device?

A. on the radiative zone, where energy is transferred through the movement of the gas
B. on the convective zone, where energy is transferred through the movement of the gas
C. on the radiative zone, where energy is transferred by being repeatedly absorbed and emitted
D. on the convective zone, where energy is transferred by being repeatedly absorbed and emitted

Answer:

The answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The convective zone is the outermost layer of the sun. This means that this region would be the least dense zone of the sun. Moreover, the core and the radiative zones are the 'fuel' for the heat and light of the sun emitted by the convective zone in tiny packages called photons. Secondly, the reason the answer is B and not D, is because the energy is transferred the the movement of gas. Also called, CONVECTION. Yeah, that's where the name comes from :)

So, if Sahil were to make the radiative zone, uniform density, we might be cooking. YIKES. Probably what happened to dinosaurs.

If Sahil, makes the entire sun, the density of the convective zone, the SUN would be much, much colder. :)
