The Sun's primary energy source is the p-p chain whereby helium is
fused from hydrogen in the core of our sun. Density, pressure and
temperature profiles, solar neutrino (antineutrino) energies and
total radiated energy confirm the standard solar model.

Density, pressure an temperature profiles are measured by analysis
of the Sun's vibration modes, rates, etc.

Thanks for the links. I can't wait until a fusion reaction is set up
that gives off more power than it costs. Let me know when they
replicate a fusion reaction that produces radiation that corresponds
with the sun's spetrum. That'd be a cool trick.

Build the reactor big enough, cover it with 400,000 miles of hydrogen
and helium, and you would likely see your spectrum.

But we'll never fly, either. And rockets won't work in space because
there's nothing for them to push against.

A biblical one too (Just thought I'd throw that one in for the
dullards in sci.geo.earthquakes. Oh I'm so good I laugh at myself!)

Somebody has too...
