Question

As the sun ages, it contains:

A. more oxygen and less helium.
B. more hydrogen and less helium.
C. more helium and less hydrogen.
O D. more carbon and less nitrogen.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. More helium and less hydrogen

Step-by-step explanation:

The Sun, which is the center of the solar system, is mainly composed of two gases: hydrogen and helium. Additionally, every second and through nuclear fusion the hydrogen is fused and this creates helium, which is a heavier element. This implies as the sun ages the amount of hydrogen will decrease as the amount of helium increases, as a result of constant nuclear fusion. Indeed, right now helium exists in a lower quantity than hydrogen, but every second, minute, hour, etc. the amount of helium increases, and it is expected in millions of years there is more helium than hydrogen.
