NGSS.HS-PS4-3

True or false... combustion creates more energy that fusion

• true

• false

Tags

NGSS.HS-PS1-4

True or false... each element has its own unique absorption spectra

• true

• false

NGSS.HS-PS4-4

Which of the following is an element found in the Sun

• hydrogen

• oxygen

• nitrogen

• lithium

NGSS.HS-ESS1-3

There are two possible ways to turn hydrogen into energy:

     ●        Chemical Combustion: Hydrogen reacts with oxygen creating water and energy. The Sun could do this for 50,000 years.

     ●        Nuclear Fusion: Hydrogens combine/fuse creating helium and energy. The Sun could do this for 10 billion years. 

The fact that rocks on Earth are as old as four billion years would be evidence that the Sun uses...

• fusion

• combustion

• both

• neither

The Sun makes its energy through...

• fusion

The hydrogen in the Sun fuses together to make...

• water and energy

• oxygen and energy

• helium and energy

• energy (only energy nothing else)

True or false.... the Sun will never run out of energy and can provide Earth with the energy that it needs forever
