It is here that is to be found the source of the energy that the Sun constantly pours out into as light and heat. This energy is librated at the center of the Sun as billions upon billions of nuclei of hydrogen atoms collide with each other and se together to form nuclei of helium, and in doing so, release some of the energy that is stored in the nuclei of atoms. The output of light and heat of the Sun requires that some 600 million tons of hydrogen be converted into helium in the Sun ry second. This the Sun has been doing for sral thousands of millions of year. The nuclear energy is released at the Sun's center as high-energy gamma radiation, a form of electromagnetic radiation like light and radio waves, only of very much shorter wavelen. This gamma radiation is absorbed by atoms inside the Sun to be reemitted at slightly longer wavelens. This radiation , in its turn is absorbed and reemitted. As the energy filters through the layers of the solar interior, it passes through the X-ray part of the spectrum ntually becoming light. At this stage, it has reached what we call the solar suce, and can escape into without being absorbed rther by solar atoms. A very all fraction of the Sun's light and heat is emitted in such directions that after passing unhindered through inteetary , it hits the Earth.
