What is the source of the sun's energy?

A. magnetism

B. Nuclear fusion

C. Nuclear fission

D. Radiation pressure

The numerous, relatively small bright markings on the sun's photosphere are called

Auroras.

Sunspots.

Solar wind.

Photosphere.

The sun converts matter into energy in the

Corona.

Radiative zone

Convection zone

Core

In the equation E=mc2, the letter E represents

The energy that is produced.

The mass that is converted.

The speed of light.

The distance to earth from the sun.

What elements make up most of the sun’s mass?

Carbon and oxygen

Carbon and hydrogen

Helium and hydrogen

Nitrogen

Do all stars make energy through fusion?

Yes

Just our sun

Only large stars

Why do scientists most want to learn more about fusion?

To win the Nobel prize

To make energy for people to use

To destroy the world

To know more about stars

Very high temperature and pressure is required for:

Fission

Fusion

Radioactive Decay

Mass can be converted into energy.

True

False

Hydrogen is the primary fuel

Fission

Fusion

Radioactive Decay

The majority of nuclear fusion occurring in our Sun has hydrogen atoms fusing together to form a helium-4 atom. What is this process known as?

Proton-proton fusion

Neutron-electron fusion

Proton-neutron fusion

Neutron-neutron fusion

In a hydrogen bomb, the fusion process is triggered by a nuclear fission reaction. What is the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission?

In fusion one atom is split apart, and in fission two atoms are combined together

Fission and fusion are the exact same process. Fission is just a smaller scale version of fusion.

Fission can occur naturally, but fusion has only ever been produced artificially.

In fusion two atoms are combined together, and in fission one atom is split apart.

True or false. Nuclear reactions within the sun produce heat and light.

False

True

The fourth state of matter, which can be found inside the sun, can be considered

Volume

Energy

Waves

Plasma

Radiation occurs when objects

Do not directly touch each other.

Directly touch each other.
