The surfaces of the Earth, Moon, and Sun are described as having different physical characteristics. How is the Sun different from the Earth and Moon?
A
The Sun has no gravity
B
The Sun is a solid
C
The Sun does not produce its own heat
D
The Sun is capable of producing its own light
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The major factor which does change the Moon’s surface is the impact of meteoroids, forming craters. Even this process is very slow today; most of the Moon’s craters, and all of the large ones, are hundreds of millions to billions of years old. The surface of the Moon is very old, compared to the Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -The surface area of the Moon is 37.9 million square kilometers. That sounds like a lot, but it’s actually smaller than the continent of Asia, which is only 44.4 million square km. The surface ares of the whole Earth is 510 million square km, so the area of the Moon compared to Earth is only 7.4%.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tides happen because the moon and sun pull on the oceans, causing them to rise and fall each day. The moon has a bigger effect than the sun because it is closer. The angle of the sun as the earth orbits over the course of a year causes the seasons. The angle changes because the earth is tilted.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sun is a huge ball of hydrogen and helium held together by its own gravity. The Sun has several regions. The interior regions include the core, the radiative zone, and the convection zone.
