Multiple choice general knowledge

4.5 pounds of sunlight strike the Earth each day.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The statement is false because sunlight is electromagnetic radiation (photons), not physical matter with mass that can be measured in pounds. Sunlight can be measured in terms of energy (joules, watts) or intensity, but not in units of mass like pounds. This appears to be a nonsensical statement designed to test scientific literacy.
