Re: Quick Quiz.
What’s with question 2?
If iron on the surface of the sun would boil, then isn’t it a liquid?
Your question asked which is NOT a liquid, how can that be the correct answer?
Thank You!

Iron boils at a much lower temperature than the surface of the Sun. So iron on the Sun is a gas, or maybe even a plasma (I’m not sure which). Iron will not stay a liquid on the Sun for long.

Thanks Mark W for asking that question my son and I had the same discussion.
