Photons

Photons

Tiny, discrete packets (or units) of electromagnetic energy photosphere - The visible surface of the sun; the zone that occurs at the top of the convection zone, where atoms no longer block radiative flow. As the hot atoms cool, they release their excess energy as photons of radiant energy, some of which fall into the visible light portion of the spectrum.
