Solar Activity

Sun's Core
The source from all of the Sun's energy is the core. In the core of a star the intense heat destroys the internal structure of an atom and consequently all atoms are broken down into their constituent parts. As a result neutrons leave the core fairly quickly. The protons remain in the core and drive the reactions which fuel the Sun.
