The Sun and The Moon Quiz

Study Notes

The Sun

The Sun is a star located much closer to Earth than other visible stars at night.
Composed mainly of hot gases known as plasma, it does not burn but glows like a light bulb.
The core of the Sun is incredibly dense, with a temperature reaching approximately 15 million degrees Celsius.
Nuclear reactions in the core release substantial energy, providing essential light and heat for life on Earth.
Without the Sun, Earth would be unable to sustain life due to extreme cold.
The Sun lacks a solid surface, surrounded by swirling layers of plasma.
Prominences are significant loops of gases that extend thousands of kilometers from the Sun and can remain stable for weeks or explode into space.
Solar flares are bursts of energy from the Sun's surface that can reach Earth, contributing to phenomena such as auroras, visible near the poles.

The Moon

The Moon itself does not produce light; it reflects sunlight, making it appear illuminated.
Often compared to a giant rock in space, the Moon has an almost nonexistent atmosphere.
It revolves around Earth while simultaneously rotating on its axis.
This synchronous rotation means that the same side of the Moon always faces Earth, as both the rotation and revolution periods are identical.
