Question

the energy the sun gives off is caused by nuclear reactions in its core. the extreme pressure from the weight of the gases that make up the sun raises the temperature of the core enough for the nuclear reactions to take place. which law best describes this behavior of gases in the sun? charless law boyles law gay - lussacs law

Explanation:

Charles's law relates volume and temperature at constant pressure. Boyle's law relates pressure and volume at constant temperature. Gay - Lussac's law relates pressure and temperature at constant volume. In the Sun, as the pressure from the weight of the gases increases, the temperature of the core increases at constant volume (the Sun has a relatively fixed volume on a short - term scale). Gay - Lussac's law ($\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$ at constant volume) best describes this relationship where an increase in pressure leads to an increase in temperature.

Answer:

Gay - Lussac's law
