With an emphasis on numerical modeling, this text presents a quantitative examination of the physical structure of the Sun and the conditions of its extended atmosphere. It enables a practical appreciation of how various physical processes determine the variation of physical parameters from the center of the Sun to the surface. The author gives step-by-step explanations for calculating the numerical models of the photosphere, convection zone, and radiative interior. He also describes the structure of polytropic spheres, covers the empirical properties and oscillation equations of helioseismology, and explores the acoustic power in the Sun and the process of thermal conduction.
