Answer 1

The correct order of the flow of energy from its production within the sun until it reaches Earth is:

**nuclear fusion; radiation; convection currents; radiation**

Here's a brief explanation of each step:

1. **Nuclear fusion**: This process occurs in the sun's core where hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy.
2. **Radiation**: Energy produced by nuclear fusion then radiates outward through the radiative zone.
3. **Convection currents**: Once the energy reaches the outer layer of the sun (the convective zone), it moves through convection currents, where hot plasma rises and cooler plasma sinks.
4. **Radiation**: Finally, the energy radiates out into space in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which eventually reaches Earth.

So the full sequence is **nuclear fusion → radiation → convection currents → radiation**.
