How does enormous energy get released from the sun

By nuclear fission

Explanation:

The sun generates enormous energy through the process of nuclear fusion.

The core or the innermost part of the sun is characterized by high temperature and pressure. These two factors cause the separation of nuclei from electrons and the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form a  helium atom.

During the fusion process, energy is released.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
