Answer to Question 1

We could discover the problem within a few months using neutrino observatories, which would stop detecting neutrinos from the Sun. However, because it takes nearly a hundred thousand years for energy to travel from the core to the surface of the Sun, it would take approximately the same amount of time for us to start experiencing a cooling of the Sun.

Answer to Question 2

C

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
