The present theoretical understanding of the characteristics of neutrinos and their production in the sun is reviewed, along with experiments for detecting solar neutrinos. The thermonuclear reaction cycles which take place in the sun, defined since 1939, indicate that gamma rays and neutrinos will emerge since the fusion of four hydrogen atoms into one a helium atom will result in a mass deficit which has been experimentally confirmed. However, attempts to detect the neutrino emissions with an underground vat of dry cleaning fluid have not yielded counts of the predicted number of neutrinos. Adjustments which have been suggested to the standard model to account for the low neutrino flux are summarized, with emphasis placed on possible changes which neutrinos could undergo on their trip from the sun to the earth that would preclude their interaction with Cl-37 atoms in the tank.
