Solar energy is created deep within the core of the Sun. It is here that the temperature (15,000,000° C; 27,000,000° F) and pressure (340 billion times Earth's air pressure at sea level) is so intense that nuclear reactions take place. This reaction causes four protons or hydrogen nuclei to fuse together to form one alpha particle or helium nucleus. The alpha particle is about .7 percent less massive than the four protons. The difference in mass is expelled as energy and is carried to the surface of the Sun, through a process known as convection, where it is released as light and heat. Energy generated in the Sun's core takes a million years to reach its surface. Every second 700 million tons of hydrogen are converted into helium ashes. In the process 5 million tons of pure energy is released; therefore, as time goes on the Sun is becoming lighter.

The visible disk of the sun is called the Photosphere and has a temperature of around 5,800 degrees Celsius. The Sun's atmosphere, called the Corona, can only be seen from Earth during a total eclipse. Don't forget that the brief period of totality is the only time that you can look towards the Sun without special eye protection. The Corona has a temperature of around 5,000,000 degrees Celsius. The temperature at the core of the Sun is around 13,600,000 degrees Celsius. It is the radiation of energy from the Sun that makes life on Earth possible.
