Question

dr. perez is part of a team of researchers who are working on designing and building a probe to study solar flares. what condition must the probe meet?
○ it must be able to travel over 300,000,000 km to reach the sun.
○ it must be able to withstand a temperature of up to 20 million degrees celsius.
○ it must be able to penetrate to the core since solar flares originate there.
○ it must be able to remain in the sun for at least eleven years.

Explanation:

Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation from the Sun's surface, with core temperatures reaching up to 20 million degrees Celsius. The probe does not need to reach the core (flares originate in the Sun's corona, not core), travel 300 million km (Earth is ~150 million km from the Sun, so this is double the required distance), or stay 11 years (no such mandatory timeframe for flare study). The critical requirement is withstanding extreme solar flare temperatures.

Answer:

It must be able to withstand a temperature of up to 20 million degrees Celsius.
