Question

Which of the following celestial bodies contains abundant quantities of Helium-3, a potential source of energy?

A.

Earth

B.

Saturn

C.

Venus

D.

Moon

Correct option is D

The Moon contains abundant quantities of Helium-3, a potential fuel for future nuclear fusion energy. Helium-3 is a rare isotope on Earth but is found in much larger quantities on the Moon's surface, embedded in the lunar soil by the solar wind. Scientists are exploring the possibility of mining Helium-3 from the Moon to be used in fusion reactors, which could provide a cleaner and more efficient energy source than current nuclear fission technology.

Helium-3 is considered a potential fuel for future nuclear fusion reactors because it produces minimal radioactive waste compared to other fusion reactions.
