Have you ever wondered how the Sun can burn so brightly in the vast emptiness of space, where there’s no oxygen to fuel its ...

More specifically, the dominant scale of convection and the depths of the convection zone and the weakly subadiabatic – yet convecting – Deardorff zone are discussed in detail.
