1. The only star in our ____________ ____________ is the Sun

Explanation

The phrase "The only star in our solar system is the Sun" suggests that the Sun is the only star in our solar system. This statement is correct because our solar system consists of the Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, and other celestial bodies, but it only has one star, which is the Sun. Other stars are located outside of our solar system in the vast expanse of the universe.

20. Refer to "Additional notes" , the HR diagram, for this question. Our Sun is a main sequence yellow star. Based on that information, which of the following statements are true?

Explanation

The HR diagram shows that main sequence yellow stars fall within the temperature range of 10,000 to 4,000 degrees. Therefore, the statement "our sun is probably between 10,000 and 4,000 degrees" is true. Additionally, the HR diagram also shows that main sequence yellow stars are generally brighter than red giants like Betelgeuse. Therefore, the statement "our sun is brighter than Betelgeuse" is also true. However, the brightness of Sirius B cannot be determined based on the given information, so the statement "our sun is brighter than Sirius B" cannot be confirmed.
