How does the sun generate energy today?Group of answer choicesChemical reactionsNuclear fusionNuclear fissionGravitsational contraction

Select the statement that is trueGroup of answer choicesAs the star exhausts its hydrogen, it begins lithium burning to fuse heavier nuclei to form increasingly larger atomsA gamma ray has energy, mass and chargeIn star formation, clouds of atomic hydrogen are pulled together by electrostatic attractionsAll atoms are generated from the simplest nuclide, hydrogen, by nuclear reactions

What is the source of the Sun's energy?Multiple choice question.fusion reactionsfission reactionsradioactive decayhydrogen combustion

The source of the energy emitted by the Sun is the result of reactions involving hydrogen nuclei in the Sun's core.

On the main sequence, stars obtain their energyGroup of answer choicesfrom nuclear fissionfrom gravitational contractionfrom chemical reactionsby converting helium to carbon, nitrogen and oxygenby converting hydrogen to helium
