Olympiad Test: Sun - 2 - Class 6 MCQ

The Sun’s energy travels through the vacuum of space in the form of electromagnetic radiation (light and heat).

Geothermal energy comes from heat inside the Earth, not from the Sun. The other three depend on solar energy directly or indirectly.

Winds are created because the Sun heats the Earth’s surface unevenly, causing differences in air pressure that set air in motion.

Solar energy is clean, renewable, and does not cause pollution like burning fossil fuels does.

Leaves contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that captures sunlight and helps in preparing food for the plant.

Coal, natural gas, and wood all store solar energy because they are formed from plants that captured sunlight millions of years ago.

Solar radiation provides the warmth necessary to maintain Earth’s temperature range suitable for life.

Solar panels use photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight directly into electrical energy.

The Sun is an average-sized star but looks larger and brighter because it is much closer to Earth than other stars.

The Sun’s energy is responsible for the Earth’s weather systems. It causes evaporation, drives winds, and influences rainfall and temperature patterns.
