Energy Transport
Energy transport inside a star takes place in three ways: Radiation: dependent on opacity, flux, density, and temperature. Larger opacity and flux involve steeper decrease in T with increasing r. Convection: cool masses move “down” (in the direction of gravitational pull) and hot masses … Continue reading
