- hydrogen
- In the core of the sun, hydrogen atoms are forced together in nuclear fusion. This union creates helium, and releases highly energized photons in the form of gamma rays
- 15,000,000 degrees c
- Gamma ray photons
- Radiative Zone
- Proton
- The photon slowly makes its way through the densely packed protons of the radiative zone. It takes anywhere from a few thousand to a few million years to escape. The photon loses energy from this travel, and becomes X-rays, then UV light

- Millions of years after its creation, the photon travels through the photosphere, chromosphere, and finally the corona. 93,000,000 miles and around 8 minutes later, it reaches earth's surface

- The wavelength of the photon continues to decrease to visible light as they travel with the plasma of the convection zone towards the surface.
