The sun’s energy is produced primarily by
|
|
Nuclear Fusion
|
|
|
Nuclear Fission
|
|
|
Either A or B
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun’s core and fuse to create a helium atom. This process, known as a PP (proton-proton) chain reaction, emits an enormous amount of energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -The core is the innermost 10% of the Sun’s mass. It is where the energy from nuclear fusion is generated. Because of the enormous amount of gravity compression from all of the layers above it, the core is very hot and dense. Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures and densities.
