Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The core is the hottest region of the Sun, reaching temperatures of over 15 million degrees Celsius. The radiation zone is next in temperature, with temperatures gradually cooling from the core's heat. The convection zone has cooler temperatures with rising and falling currents. Finally, the photosphere is the coolest layer of the Sun, with temperatures around 5,500 degrees Celsius. Hence, the correct order of layers from the hottest to the coldest is Core, radiation zone, convection zone, photosphere or B.
