Which layer of the sun produces energy that reaches the earth in the figure shown here?

Question

Question 9 options:

A)

Core

B)

Gamma zone

C)

Radiative zone

D)

Corona

Answer 1

The layer of the sun that produces energy that reaches the Earth is the Core (Option A). The core is where nuclear fusion occurs, generating energy that eventually makes its way to the surface and is emitted as light and heat. The other options do not directly produce the energy that reaches the Earth: the gamma zone refers to a specific process within the core, the radiative zone is where energy is transported outwards but does not produce it, and the corona is the outer atmosphere of the sun, which does not produce energy but rather is visible during certain events like solar eclipses.
