    What are stars made of? - ProProfs

    What are stars made of?

    • Liquids

    • Gases

    • Rocks

    • Lava

    Correct Answer
    A. Gases
    Explanation
    Stars are made primarily of gases. The immense heat and pressure within a star's core cause hydrogen atoms to fuse together, creating helium and releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This process, known as nuclear fusion, powers the star and produces light and heat. Other gases, such as helium, carbon, and oxygen, can also be found in varying amounts within a star. While stars may contain small amounts of other materials, such as dust and metals, the dominant component is gas.

    A. Astronomy
    Explanation
    Astronomy is the correct answer because it is the scientific study of celestial objects, such as stars, planets, galaxies, and other phenomena that exist outside Earth's atmosphere. It involves observing, analyzing, and understanding the physical and chemical properties, as well as the motion and evolution, of these celestial bodies. Spacelogy, Nasaonomy, and Astrology are not recognized scientific terms and do not refer specifically to the study of stars.
