Statement 2: Stars are gigantic spheres of hot gases.

• A. Only statement 1 is correct
• B. Only statement 2 is correct
• C. Both statements are correct
• D. Both statements are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both statements are correct

The reason we can call sun an ordinary star is that even though it appears to be larger than all the others stars in the sky, it is not the biggest star. There are many stars which are actually bigger than the sun. The Sun looks larger only because it is closest to us.

Stars are gigantic spheres made of hot gases which are held together with the help of gravitational force.
