KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Instead, the sun is composed of layers made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. These gases carry out different functions in each layer, and the sun’s layers are measured by their percentage of the sun’s total radius.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which gas is present in the sun? The sun is still mostly made up of the raw materiel of the universe, hydrogen and helium. However, like everything else in the sun, it is not a gas but a plasma. The sun is far too hot for neutral gas to survive.

Detailed explanation-3: -This process-called nuclear fusion-releases energy while creating a chain reaction that allows it to occur over and over and over again. That energy builds up. It gets as hot as 27 million degrees Fahrenheit in the sun’s core. The energy travels outward through a large area called the convective zone.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sun is our nearest star. It is, as all stars are, a hot ball of gas made up mostly of Hydrogen. The Sun is so hot that most of the gas is actually plasma, the fourth state of matter.
