The grainieness is caused by convective cells at the sun's sufrace. Hooter material rises up at the centers of these "grains" (called granules) while less hot material sinks around their edges. Each granule is several hundred miles across.

Does the sun produce energy in the the photosphere the core or the corona?
Granulation
What is responsible for the mottled appearance of the Sun's surface known as granulation?
The sun's surface has a mottled appearance, known as granulation, because of its convection currents. At any one time, about four million of these currents cover the sun's surface.
What is the grainy texture on the sun's surface produced by numerous bright markings called?
It's called granulation. (Also, I think it's actually a separate thing from the bright spots.)
What is the layer of the sun through which energy travels by convection from the radiative zone to the atmosphere?
From the Sun's core, energy moves through the radiative zone, across the tachocline (transition layer) to the convective zone, and then to the outer convective zone with its visible granulation.
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of?
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
Granulation on the Sun's surface is caused by what activity?
Electromagnetism, or the twisting of the magnetic field lines on the surface of the sun.
What evidence can you give that granulation is caused by convection?
Convection is caused by the mottled appearance of the solar photosphere, caused by gases rising from the interior of the Sun.
What is granulation caused by?
pharmacetical needs
Granulation is caused by?
Healing process. Right after phagocytosis.

What is the bubbling effect seen on the surface of the sun?
I think this refers to "granulation".
In which layer of the sun does granulation occur?
A grainy cloud like substance that comes from the convection area under the photosphere.
What are the methods of granulation?
There are two types of granulation they are Wet Granulation and Dry Granulation.Wet granulation and dry granulation depends on the type of fertilizer granulators and whether adding water during granulation.In general, Roll Extrusion Granulator(Azeus Fertilizer Machinery) is dry granulation machine. It requires moisture of raw materials less than 40% and no water added during granulation. So, it's compound fertilizer granules are also dry, in long-stick shape.But, as for New-type Granulator(organic fertilizer by Azeus Fertilizer Machinery) and Pan Granulator (both organic and compound fertilizer), with required a low moisture of raw materials, water must be add during granulation. Or, the fertilizer granulation will fail.
What is the difference between dry granulation and wet granulation?
Wet meaning you wet the ground first with a hose
How is warm weather caused?
sun sun
What are symptoms of arachnoid granulation?
headache
