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
No
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.
