Solution

The correct option is A

True


The primary source of energy on earth is the sun. In the sun's core, gravitational forces create tremendous pressure and temperatures. The temperature of the sun in this layer is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius). Hydrogen atoms are compressed and fused together, creating helium due to which energy is produced.
