Temperature of the sun kelvin

The sun is a sphere at the heart of the solar system comprised of plasma and gas. About 91% of the gas is hydrogen followed by helium. The sun is the most significant source of energy for all living organisms.

The sun accounts for 99.86% of all of the mass of the solar system and it is the brightest body seen in the sky of the Earth and the sun's temperature varies greatly.

How big is the sun

Core Of The Sun

At the sun's core is gravitational attraction which results in immense temperature and pressure. Temperatures here can top 15 million degrees Celsius. Hydrogen atoms in this region get compressed, and they fuse together to produce helium in a process referred to as nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion releases tremendous amounts of energy which radiate towards the surface of the sun and eventually reaches the Earth.

Sun core temperature

Energy from the core makes its way towards the convective zone.

Convective Zone

This zone stretches for 200,000 km and reaches close to the surface. The temperatures in this zone drop lower than 2 million degrees Celsius.
