Question

As a photon from the Sun's core interacts with an atom or ion, the photon gives up its energy to the particle. But the excited particle gives up this excess energy as another photon. Thus the core's energy is carried outward in a process called _____ transport.

Answer 1

Radiative transport

Step-by-step explanation:

Radiative transportation takes place extensively in the core of the sun. It produces solar energy which are emitted outward from the core of the sun, and it comprises more than 70% of the sun's heat energy. At the core of the sun, the process of nuclear fusion takes where the hydrogen atoms combines with one another, and forms helium, and during this process, it releases a large amount of energy. The photons continuously interacts with the ions (or atoms) and releases this energy to the particles and the excited particles converts the excess amount of energy into another photon which are carried outward by the process of radiative transport.
