My recollection of astronomy books is that the convective zone is pictured with arrows similar to File:ConvectionCells.svg and the radiative zone with radial arrows. The glow of the core serves the former, so that's fine. Failed last time for procedural reasons, but deserves another hearing on merit. Otherwise, no problems. Support.

For what it's worth, I also attest to the scientific accuracy of this diagram. MER-C 19:16, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support with caution I am not an expert in heliophysics but as a layperson this looks good to me, and certainly helpful to Wikipedia readers if the content is accurate. --Pine^✉ 05:15, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support. This is a very good diagram that was created to illustrate a set of articles about the structure of stars, later part of the template that transcludes the common information in the articles. See Template:Structure of the Sun and the articles linked in the template. Not only does the illustration carefully follow the sizes of the regions for the sun mentioned in the articles, the color transition from white hot interior darkening to deeper red near the surface illustrates the way the temperature decreases outward. (Hot objects like iron cool from white to orange to red.) StarryGrandma (talk) 17:06, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support: It compares reasonably well to this NASA image, apart from the subsurface flows. Solar faculae aren't mentioned, but that's probably okay. Praemonitus (talk) 17:32, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
