B. 53,000 degrees F

Explanation
The temperature of the sun is 53,000 degrees F. This is a measure of the sun's surface temperature, which is incredibly hot. The high temperature is due to the intense nuclear reactions happening at the sun's core, which generate immense heat and light. This temperature allows the sun to emit large amounts of energy, which is essential for sustaining life on Earth and for driving various atmospheric and weather phenomena.

You should hide under ANYTHING you can during a lightning storm
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
During a lightning storm, it is not safe to hide under just anything. This is because lightning can strike objects and travel through them, potentially causing harm to anyone seeking shelter underneath. It is important to seek proper shelter during a lightning storm, such as a fully enclosed building or a hard-topped vehicle, to ensure safety from lightning strikes. Hiding under just anything may not provide adequate protection and could put individuals at risk.

It serves as a warning to be prepared and stay alert for the potential occurrence of severe weather.
