In the sun, heat and light are produced by which of the following reaction? |
Nuclear fission Nuclear fusion Photochemical reaction Displacement reaction |
Nuclear fusion |
The correct answer is option 2. Nuclear fusion. The Sun produces light by a nuclear reaction called nuclear fusion. In this reaction, atoms of hydrogen combine to form helium, they produce vast amounts of heat and light. The central core of the sun, where heat and light are produced, has a temperature of approximately 15 million degrees. |
