Question

Which of the following accurately describes the main reaction that generates the Sun's light? A. oxygen reacts with carbon to form carbon dioxide B. hydrogen nuclei fuse forming helium and releasing energy C. iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide D. light reacts with water to form glucose

Answer 1

Answer:

hydrogen nuclei fuse forming helium and releasing energy.

Explanation:

The Sun's light is generated by a nuclear reaction. In this reaction, hydrogen nuclei fuse forming helium and releasing energy. This reaction releases so much energy that light is able to travel all the way from the Sun to the Earth. On the Earth, this light energy is transformed into chemical potential energy during photosynthesis.
