Diagram showing the interior of the Sun with vibration modes superimposed. The solar interior is composed of a core (central 30%) a radiative zone outside this,and finally a convective layer occupying the outermost 30% or so. Solar astronomers,using a branch of astronomy called helioseismology,have established that the Sun vibrates in several different modes,somewhat like the skin of a drum,as indicated in this image by the colours on the surface. The blue regions indicate where the surface is moving outwards,while the red ones show where the movement is downwards | |
