Question 5(1 point) By which process is energy transferred out of the core? a conduction b convection C radiation

The correct answer is **C. radiation**.<br /><br />Here's why:<br /><br />* **Radiation** is the primary method of energy transfer in the Sun's core. The core is incredibly dense and hot, leading to the production of gamma rays and X-rays. These high-energy photons carry the energy outward.<br /><br />* **Conduction** relies on direct contact for heat transfer. While present to some degree, it's far less efficient than radiation in the Sun's core due to the nature of the plasma.<br /><br />* **Convection** involves the movement of heated matter. This process is significant in the Sun's outer layers, but not the core. The core's density inhibits large-scale movement of matter.<br />
