| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Eccentricity | Deviation from a curve or an orbit. |
| Red Shift | the change in the wavelength of light when something moves away |
| Blue Shift, | an increase in frequency |
| Frequency, | The number of wavelength that pass a certain point. |
| Wavelength, | the distance from the peak of one light or sound wave to the peak of the next. Electromagnetic wavelengths vary from the short blips of cosmic rays to the long pulses of radio transmission |
| Absolute Brightness (magnitude), | the brightness a star would have if it were at a standard distance from earth |
| Apparent Brightness (magnitude), | how bright a star appears from earth |
| Stellar Spectra | Continuous black body spectrum and photosphere |
| Universe, | everything in space |
| Galaxy , | A group of stars and planet and gases and other space stuff |
| Solar System, | sun, planets, and all the other things that revolve around a sun |
| Star, | A hot ball of gas |
| Planet, | a celestial body moving in an elliptical orbit around a star. |
| Electromagnetic Spectrum, | All of the frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation |
| AU- Astronomical Unit, | The distance from the Earth to the Sun |
| Solar Nebula, | A large cloud of gas and dust such as the one that formed our solar system |
| Gas giant , | Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune |
| Nuclear fusion, | Nuclei combine to form more massive elements |
| Convective zone, | In the Convection Zone, very hot plasma rises and cools when its near the surface and then falls back down and up again and the cycle continue |
| Photosphere, | The luminous envelope of a star the its light and heat radiate. |
| Chromosphere, | a reddish gaseous layer which is above the photosphere of the sun or another star. |
| Corona , | The rarefied gaseous envelope of the sun and other stars |
| Sunspot, | a spot or patch appearing from time to time on the sun's surface, appearing dark by contrast with its surroundings. |
| Prominence, | a gas projecting above the sun's chromosphere. |
| Solar Flare, | a brief eruption of intense high-energy radiation that comes from the sun |
| Coronal mass ejection, | A release of plasma |
| Light year, | the distance that light travels in one year |
| Main Sequence, | a diagonal area on an H-R diagram that includes more than 90 percent of all stars |
| HR Diagram, | A graph relating the temperature and brightness of stars |
| Nebular, | A large cloud of dust and gas in space |
| Red giant, | A large, reddish star late in its life cycle |
| White dwarf, | A small, hot, dim star that is the leftover center of an old star |
| Nova, | a star that increases thousands of times in brightness and then fades |
| Neutron Star | A star that has collapsed under its own gravity |
| Radiative Zone | A layer in a star that energy is traveled toward the exterior of the star. |
| Pulsar, | A rapidly spinning neutron star that produces radio waves |
| Black Hole | A region of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape. |
| Formula For Eccentricity | E=c/a |
| Cosmology | Study of the universe |
| Kepler's Law | 3 laws that are about planetary motion. |
| Elliptical Orbit | When something revolves around another object. |
