What are the layers of the Sun in order, starting from the middle and moving outward?

A. Core, Radiative Zone, Convective Zone, Photosphere, Chromosphere, Corona
B. Radiative Zone, Core, Convective Zone, Photosphere, Chromosphere, Corona
C. Core, Convective Zone, Radiative Zone, Photosphere, Chromosphere, Corona
D. Core, Radiative Zone, Convective Zone, Chromosphere, Photosphere, Corona

Answer :

Final answer:

The correct order of the Sun's layers from the middle to the outside is Core, Radiative Zone, Convective Zone, Photosphere, Chromosphere, and Corona(option a).

Explanation:

The layers of the Sun, starting from the middle and moving outward, are: Core, Radiative Zone, Convective Zone, Photosphere, Chromosphere, and Corona. Starting at the innermost layer, the core is where nuclear fusion occurs, producing the Sun's energy. Surrounding the core is the radiative zone, where energy moves outward primarily through radiation. Beyond this zone is the convective zone, where energy is transported via convection currents. The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun that we see from Earth. Above the photosphere lies the chromosphere, and beyond that is the corona, the outermost layer of the solar atmosphere visible during solar eclipses.

Therefore, the correct answer is a) Core, Radiative Zone, Convective Zone, Photosphere, Chromosphere, Corona
