How solar flares are created
The nuclear processes in the sun
The number of sunspots on the sun's surface
Answer
Davis's experiment revealed the nuclear fusion reactions occurring within the sun, particularly the conversion of hydrogen into helium, which releases the vast amounts of energy that sustain the sun's luminosity and heat. This milestone discovery enhanced our comprehension of the sun's internal processes, providing crucial insights into stellar energy generation and the underlying mechanisms that power stars like our sun.
