How does energy move through the radiation zone and the convection zone?


Rate This Answer

In the radiative zone, the high energy photons interact with other particles - electrons, protons and the nuclei of other elements - and are scattered in all directions. In the convection zone, a different process cuts in and the energy is carried by convection where it transports energy from a lower, hotter region to a higher, cooler region.
