Dans l'intérieur d'une étoile, on doit penser qu'il existe des mouvements dits «de convection» [...], qui brassent entre elles les couches situées aux différentes profondeurs. Mais le centre, région la plus chaude, rayonne de l'énergie vers l'extérieur, et ce transfert par rayonnement intervient lui aussi dans les théories sur l'équilibre qui peut s'établir, et qui est l'équilibre radiatif. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9quilibre%20radiatif
