What is the solar system's tallest volcano?π
Olympus Mons on Mars
What is the sun made of?
Plasma and hot gas, consisting primarily of hydrogen (~73β92%) and helium (~8β25%). Also contains trace amounts of heavier elements like oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron.
What is a black hole?
A black hole is an extremely dense object whose gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape it.

Do black holes warp space or time?
BOTH!
Time: If you got close to one, time would pass much slower for you compared to someone far away.
Space: They concentrate an immense amount of mass into an extremely tiny area, creating an infinitely dense point called a singularity.
What is Jupiter made of?
About 90% hydrogen and 10% helium
How was the sun made?
It was made when a spinning nebula of gas and dust collapsed, forming a disk shape. π₯ This collapse, likely triggered by a nearby supernova shockwave, created a dense protostar at the center that grew hot enough to ignite nuclear fusion, transforming it into a main-sequence star. β
What is the name of the black hole that's closest to our solar system?
Gaia BH1
(Located approximately 1,560 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus. It is a dormant, stellar-mass black hole, roughly 10 times more massive than the Sun, and orbits a sun-like star in a binary system.)
