What is the temperature of the solar core?

Well, this inner core is a hot place, isn't it? According to scientific data, the star produces huge amount of energy. This energy releases during the process known as nuclear fusion. In order to create helium, hydrogen atoms within the core of the cosmic body get really compressed and then fuse together. It is amazing, but this stellar energy turns out to be a by-product of the processes (such as creation of helium) within the solar core.

John Stratemeyer, perhaps, you & Rick Shomin should have a more open mind about the weather & other catastrophic things that are happening around the world. The country of Itay, along has been hit by 3 earthquakes in just the last two months, registering at 6.0 on the "Reichter Scale." Just recently the country of New Zealand was hit with a 7.8 earthquake in that region of the world. Let's keep a focus on the "Ring of Fire" in the region of the world that stretches far & wide. The countries of Chile, Japan, & United States by way of the states of Alaska & Hawaii are right in the middle of that phenomena of activity.

Actually climate change is a natural process that just happens over time humans polluting the earth has only sped up the process not created it and I doubt any of us will live to see the full effects ....I suppose you think the ice age was something our government did to kill off those dastardly cavemen as well?
