Question

Which data table describes the Sun? Composition mostly frozen nitrogen Mass 258.9 × 1018 kg Composition mostly hydrogen and helium gas Mass 1.989 × 1030 kg Composition fine dust, metals and minerals, and volcanic rock Mass 6.4 × 1023 kg Composition central iron core surrounded by rock, similar to Earth Mass 4.9 × 1024 kg

Answer 1

The best answer choice from the list provided here, for the question: Which data table describes the Sun, would be: Composition mostly hydrogen and helium gas Mass 1.989 x 1030 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Sun is an enormous ball of gas and atomic interaction between two major gases that compose it; hydrogen and helium. According to data from different sources, most of the Sun´s mass comes from hydrogen itself, around 70% of the total, while helium forms a 28% of the total, with the reamining mass coming from a small combination of other elements also present, mostly in the core. In fact, research shows that it is particular interactions of atoms of hydrogen inside the Sun´s core, and pressure, that generate a part of the helium mass that also forms the Sun´s total.

Answer 2

Composition: mostly hydrogen and helium gas

Mass: 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg

Explanation:

Sun is a star at the center of the solar system. It is mostly composed of Hydrogen and Helium gases. Fusion of Hydrogen into Helium in the core powers the sun. Huge amount of heat and light energy is liberated. The mass of the Sun is 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg. Sun is a Population I star.
