Solar convection zone

A thick curved spherical shell segment representing the Sun's outer convection zone in cutaway, occupying the outer interior just beneath the photosphere. The layer is colored warm orange-gold to reddish-orange and has a turbulent mottled or stippled texture. It is filled with rounded cellular convection patterns, including bulbous or bubble-like rising plumes, narrower descending lanes, and looping or swirling plume-like structures to convey vigorous mixing in a turbulent outer stellar layer. Use clean medium linework, a warm flat color palette with subtle soft shading, and simplified scientific-diagram detail.
