64% Answer Correctly

G

S

E

D


Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.


4

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:

75% Answer Correctly

reflection

convection

refraction

conduction


Solution

Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.


5

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

59% Answer Correctly

bacteria

eukaryota

archaea


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
