Correct Answer
A. GasesExplanation
Stars are made primarily of gases. The immense heat and pressure within a star's core cause hydrogen atoms to fuse together, creating helium and releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This process, known as nuclear fusion, powers the star and produces light and heat. Other gases, such as helium, carbon, and oxygen, can also be found in varying amounts within a star. While stars may contain small amounts of other materials, such as dust and metals, the dominant component is gas.Rate this question:
