| Mar 22, 2021 at 16:39 | comment | added | PM 2Ring | @JonCuster True, but material in the core isn't visible in the Sun's spectrum, and at this stage of the Sun's life, virtually everything produced in the core stays in the core. When the Sun enters the red giant branch, there will be dredge-up. | |
