Radiation zone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The radiation zone is the middle zone in the sun's interior. Energy travels out of the core into the radiation zone. Energy travels through the radiation zone in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The radiation zone is so dense that the waves bounce around. The energy might not get out of the radiation zone for millions of years.
