Multiple Choice
The temperature in the core of Jupiter is:
A) as hot as the temperature of the Sun's core, but it is composed of rock, so nuclear fusion will not occur.

C) cooler than the temperature of the Sun's surface, meaning that no nuclear fusion can take place.
D) hotter than the temperature of the Sun's surface but cooler than the temperature of the Sun's core, so nuclear fusion cannot take place.
