Answer 2

Like fuel, the sun also provides heat and light. The process taking place in the sun is called the nuclear process. (Option b)

• The nuclear process going on inside the sun to give out energy is called nuclear fusion.
• It is a reaction including hydrogen that results in the formation of helium due to the collision of atoms at very high speeds.
• Such reactions create energy, which is then received on Earth in the form of heat and light.
• This process does not involve oxygen and hence, cannot be combustion or burning.
