Question

What are the layers of a star, and what does each layer do?

Answer 1

Hi...
Let us divide the layers into two parts...
1.Interior layer and 2.The Atmosphere (outer)
1. INTERIOR LAYER
CORE:
It is the innermost region
Nuclear fusion occurs in this layer
All energy of a star comes from this
In this layer the star converts its hydrogen atoms to helium
RADIATION ZONE:
The heat (energy) from core travels through this layer
The energy travels in the form of electromagnetic radiation
or
the energy travels in form of photons
CONVECTION ZONE:
When the energy comes to this zone it travels in a different manner
The energy moves by convection.


2. ATMOSPHERE
PHOTOSPHERE:
It is a very thin layer
It emits mst of the light
CHROMOSPHERE:
It can be seen during eclipse
It is the middest layer in the atmosphere of a star
It appers as a pinkish red layer
CORONA:
It is the outermost layer of a star
It is known as the CROWN OF A STAR
It also visible during an eclipse.
