The sun is not a burning fire.

It's much much much hotter than that.

The sun's energy is the result of continuous nuclear fusion in it's core. We know how to do that on Earth, but the only thing we've been able to use it for so far is hydrogen bombs and other thermonuclear weapons.

Answer:

through nuclear fusion

Explanation:

The burning of the sun is not chemical combustion. It is nuclear fusion. This combustion releases energy which we experience as the heat and light given off by the flame.

Answer:

$16.25^{\circ}$

Explanation:

R = Horizontal range of projectile = 75 m

v = Velocity of projectile = 37 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

Horizontal range is given by

$R=\dfrac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\sin^{-1}\dfrac{Rg}{v^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\sin^{-1}\dfrac{75\times 9.81}{37^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=16.25^{\circ}$
