Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?
is composed of hydrogen and helium |
|
is a yellow dwarf star |
|
formed 2.6 billion years ago |
|
makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system |
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.

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed from the hardening of molten rock?
sedimentary |
|
marble |
|
igneous |
|
metamorphic |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
