D)use computer models to predict interior conditions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scientists use computer models to predict interior conditions of the Sun and estimate its central temperature. This method is more feasible and safer than other options, such as sending probes or creating a mini-Sun in a laboratory. Monitoring changes in Earth's atmosphere is not directly related to estimating the central temperature of the Sun.
