Question | Answer |
---|---|
Life on earth is dependent on the - | sun |
Stars vary in - | color |
- is a red star | Betelguese |
- is a blue star | Rigel |
- is a yellow star | Sun |
Stars vary in - and - as well as color | size; color |
Most stars are the same size as the - | sun |
Every chemical element has a characteristic- | spectrum |
Colors and lines ina spectrum indicate- | which elements make up a star |
In most stars- is the most common element | hydrogen |
- is the second most common element in stars | Helium |
Surface temperature is indicated by - | color |
- stars are the hottest | blue |
- stars are the coolest | red |
- stars have moderate temperatures | yellow |
The sun has a surface temperature of- | 5500C |
The core temperature of the sun is | 15 million C |
- motion can only be seen through a high powered telescope | actual |
- motion can be seen without a telescope | apparent |
Another name for the North Star is the - | Polaris |
The North Star is located over the - and does not appear to move | North Pole |
Stars that are always visible in the night sky lie close to the - | Polaris |
Stars that are always visible are called - | circum- polar |
The speed of light is- | 300,000 km/s |
Light travels - in one year | 9.5 trillion km |
The sun reaches the earth in - | 8 minutes |
Earth's closest star system is- | Alpha Centauri |
- is the brightest star seen from Earth | Proxima Centauri |
Scientists can calculate the distance of a star by using two measurments: -- | true brightness and apparent brightness |
Over - stars can be seen thru a telescope | 3 billion |
Only about - stars are visible | 5000 |
- magnitude is the brightness of a star as it appears from Earth | apparent |
The - shows a pattern of the brightness of stars increases with surface temperatures | H-R diagram |
The H-R diagram shows ----- | relationship between surface temperature, size, and the brightness of a star |
The band of colors extends from - - stars to -- stars | cool, dim ; hot ,bright |
The sun and almost every star in the sky is - star | main sequence |
Cool stars are bright if their surface is - | large |
Hot stars are dim in the night sky because they are - | small |
The sun is a - sized star and a - temperature star | medium |
- and - mean star | stellar; astro |
The visibility of a star depends on - and - | brightness; distance |
- is the true brightness of a star | Absolute magnitude |
The brightness of most stars - as the temperature increases | temperature |
- are hot stars but only the size of earth | white dwarfs |
body of gases that give off light and heat | star |
separates light into different forms of wavelengths | spectroscope |
display of colors and lines | spectrum |
apparent shift in the wavelength of light | Dopppler Effect |
spectrum of a star moving toward the Earth is toward the blue end | blue shift |
brightens and fades in a regular pattern | Cephied variable star |
huge stars | red giants |
really huge stars | super giants |
method to determine the distance between stars and the Earth | parallax |
distance between the stars and the Earth | light years |
a star moving away from the earth | red shift |
