Sun 101 - Which two complementary forces keep the Sun from blowing itself up?
labwork [276]

Fusion and gravity

Fusion and gravity keep the sun from blowing itself up.  A large amount of energy is released by the sun. Protons are fused together to form helium atoms due to the high heat and pressure at the center of the sun. The Sun does not blow itself up from the outer pressure of nuclear fusion in as much as the inner force of gravity balances it.

An objects position is always defined relative to a reference point. If the object changes position, its motion can be described
Orlov [11]
The position of the diver is described as "below a certain point"; therefore, the reference point must be above the diver.

Out of the options, the only point of reference that is likely to be above the diver is B. the diving board.
