Answer 2

The correct answer for the given question is stars (option b).

• Stars are the only heavenly bodies that produce their heat and light.
• Stars are the large celestial body in the solar system which are made of gases called hydrogen and helium which elicits light.
• Also, stars have an extremely high temperature as compared to planets and satellites therefore they produce their heat.
• Planets do not have their light and they depend on the light and heat from the greatest star of the solar system called the sun.
• Similarly, satellites revolve around the planets and do not have their heat and light.
• Hence, stars are the only celestial body to have their heat and light.
