    Question

    Which type of celestial body is the Sun?

    A.

    Satellite

    B.

    Planet

    C.

    Meteor

    D.

    Star

    Correct option is D


    The Sun is a star, specifically a G-type main-sequence star (G dwarf), commonly referred to as a yellow dwarf. It is a massive sphere of hot plasma primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, undergoing nuclear fusion in its core. This fusion process converts hydrogen into helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat, which sustains life on Earth. Unlike planets, which orbit stars, and satellites, which orbit planets, the Sun is at the center of the solar system, with planets, including Earth, revolving around it. A meteor, on the other hand, is a small body from space that burns upon entering Earth's atmosphere.
