So FUSION occurs at the Core not at the surface.
You are a ****ing idiot. No one said that fusion occurs at the surface of
the Sun. Go back and read the post again. What high school did you
graduate from?
Sanny reads at a grade three level:
From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun
"About 3.4×1038 protons (hydrogen nuclei) are converted into helium nuclei
every second (out of ~8.9×1056 total amount of free protons in the Sun),
releasing energy at the matter-energy conversion rate of 4.26 million metric
tons per second, 383 yottawatts (3.83×1026 W) or 9.15×1010 megatons of TNT
per second. This actually corresponds to a surprisingly low rate of energy
production in the Sun's core-about 0.3 W/m3 (watts per cubic meter). This is
less power than generated by a candle. Power density is about 6 µW/kg of
matter. For comparison, the human body produces heat at approximately the
rate 1.2 W/kg, roughly a million times greater per unit mass."
The power density of the Sun per unit mass is six orders of magnitude less
that the power density of the human body. If the power density of the Sun
were to go from infinitesimally infinitesimal to zero, we would not notice,
because we are mortal.
