Convection: In the convective zone, energy is transported by the bulk motion of plasma (boiling motions). This mechanism becomes dominant when the temperature gradient exceeds the adiabatic lapse rate, which occurs when the mean molecular weight of the plasma drops too low.
A peculiarity observed in G-type stars (like the Sun)/)) is the Limb-Shift Anomaly, where the apparent rotation rate measured…
