Object Produces Light? Temperature (°C/°F)
a bouncing basketball no 20°C/68°F
the Sun's surface yes 5500°C/10,000°F
a lit lightbulb yes 250°C/482°F
a fork sitting on a table no 15°C/59°F
Which of the following is most likely true?
A.
Small objects produce more light than larger objects.
B.
Large objects produce less heat than smaller objects.

The statement that is most likely true based on the information provided in the table is:
C. Objects that produce light energy often produce heat energy.
This is supported by the examples of the Sun's surface and a lit lightbulb, both of which produce light and have high temperatures.
