Question

which of the following best illustrates how the sun produces energy that radiates into space? the sun fuses hydrogen atoms in its core which releases energy as electromagnetic radiation the sun fuses iron atoms in its core which releases energy as electromagnetic radiation the sun splits hydrogen atoms in its core which releases energy as electromagnetic radiation the sun splits hydrogen atoms in its photosphere which releases energy as electromagnetic radiation

Explanation:

The sun produces energy through nuclear fusion in its core. Hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium, releasing energy as electromagnetic radiation. Iron fusion is not the main energy - producing process in the sun. Splitting atoms is fission, which is not how the sun generates energy, and the energy - producing process occurs in the core, not the photosphere.

Answer:

The sun fuses hydrogen atoms in its core which releases energy as electromagnetic radiation
