The Standard Solar Model (SSM) is a theoretical framework used by astrophysicists to describe the structure and evolution of the Sun. This model aims to explain the Sun's properties, such as its temperature, luminosity, and internal structure, based on physical principles and fundamental laws of physics. Key components of the Standard Solar Model include: 1. **Hydrostatic Equilibrium**: The balance between gravitational forces pulling inward and the pressure from nuclear reactions pushing outward.
