Answer:

Hope it helps

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy produced through fusion in the core moves outward, first in the form of electromagnetic radiation called photons in the so-called radiative zone. Next, energy moves upward in photon heated solar gas. This type of energy transport is convection. In other words, energy is radiated out from the core first, then carried to the outer layers by convection. Energy is carried out from the core by convection first, then radiated to the outer layers.
