Stars appear in different colors like blue, white, red, due to their surface temperatures according to Wein's law. Hotter stars have shorter wavelengths and appear blue, while cooler stars have longer wavelengths and appear red. The surface temperature of a star can be estimated by measuring its color. Blue stars are the hottest, around 25,000 degrees Celsius, while red stars are the coolest around 3,000 degrees Celsius.

The life cycle of a star
The document outlines the life cycle of stars from birth in nebulae of gas and dust through their main sequence phase, later evolution into red giants, and final stages as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. It describes how gravity pulls gas together in nebulae to form protostars, which become main sequence stars fueling nuclear fusion for millions of years. As hydrogen runs out in their cores, more massive stars explode as supernovae while lower mass stars expand into red giants then contract into white dwarfs.

Star formation
The document discusses the lifecycle of stars from their formation to death. It begins by defining what stars and constellations are. It then focuses on our sun as a medium-sized, yellow star at the center of our solar system. Stars are classified based on temperature and brightness as young dwarf stars or older, larger supergiant stars. The document outlines the typical stages a star like the sun will progress through over billions of years from birth from clouds of dust and gas, burning hydrogen through nuclear fusion as a main sequence star, and eventual death through expansion and explosion at the end of its life. Various nebulae and supernova remnants are used as examples of star birth and death.
The Star
This document provides an overview of the characteristics, classifications, motions, and significance of stars. It discusses their sizes, colors, temperatures, compositions, and magnitudes. Stars are classified based on their spectral types, which relate to their surface temperatures. The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram plots stars' luminosities and temperatures. Stars exhibit both apparent and actual motions, including proper motion across the sky. Studying stars helps us understand how elements are formed, how our solar system evolved, and the dynamics influencing galaxies.
Stars and Constellations
Stars are giant balls of gas that produce energy through nuclear fusion. They vary greatly in size, temperature, luminosity, and lifespan. The universe contains over 100 billion galaxies, each with over 100 billion stars. Stars appear different colors due to their temperatures, from hot blue/white stars to cooler orange/red giants and supergiants. Constellations are patterns of stars in the night sky used for navigation.
Constellation
Constellations are groupings of stars that appear to form patterns in the night sky. Ancient cultures like the Babylonians and Greeks studied constellations and used them to mark seasons and in their myths and religions. Today, 88 constellations are recognized by astronomers, including Ursa Major, Orion, and Scorpius. Certain constellations like Ursa Major can be seen all year from any location in the northern hemisphere and are called circumpolar, while others like Orion are only visible during certain seasons.
Types of stars
This document describes different stages and types of stars:
- Main sequence stars like our Sun spend most of their lives fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores.
- Red giants are large, reddish stars that have exhausted hydrogen fusion and begun fusing helium.
- Planetary nebulae form when average-sized stars eject their outer layers after becoming red giants, leaving behind dense, hot cores called white dwarfs.
- Brown dwarfs are failed stars too small to sustain nuclear fusion.
- Variable stars change in brightness over timescales from seconds to years as they evolve.
- Binary stars are two gravitationally bound stars that orbit a common center of mass.
Stars
Stars are giant balls of gas that produce light and heat through nuclear fusion at their cores. They vary greatly in size, from dwarf stars like our Sun to massive supergiant stars over 200 times the Sun's diameter. Stars end their lives in different ways depending on their mass - smaller stars become white dwarfs, while larger stars explode as supernovae or collapse into neutron stars and other compact objects.

Star Classification
Stars are large balls of ionized gas held together by gravity that emit energy through nuclear reactions. They are classified based on size, temperature, and brightness. Size categories include super giants, red giants, main sequence, white dwarfs, and neutron stars. Temperature determines color, from red (coolest) to blue (hottest). Brightness depends on both a star's intrinsic luminosity and its distance from Earth. Spectrographs are used to analyze starlight and determine properties like chemical composition, temperature, and distance.
Constellations
1) On a clear night, the unaided human eye can see about 6,000 stars, though light pollution limits this to a few hundred in urban/suburban areas.
2) Constellations originally referred to patterns of the brightest stars representing mythological figures, though today they are defined regions of the sky regardless of star brightness.
3) The apparent motion of stars is caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis and revolution around the Sun, making some stars appear to rise and set daily or be visible only seasonally.
Constellations
The document discusses stars, constellations, and the universe. It explains that the universe was created by the Big Bang over 13 billion years ago and contains many galaxies. Stars are large spheres of gases like hydrogen and helium that form from spinning balls of gas. They come in different colors depending on their temperature. There are over 100 billion billion stars in the universe. Constellations are patterns of stars in the sky that different cultures have associated with characters or animals. Star charts can help identify constellations by connecting the stars and accounting for their positions from different locations on Earth.
Stars
It is a slide showing the general information as well as some interesting information about stars that a student needs for his school.
Nebula
Nebulae are giant clouds of dust and gas found in space where stars are formed. They can be light years across and look fuzzy in appearance. When the gas and dust in a nebula collapses under its own gravity, it forms hot, dense cores where stars ignite and shine. Some nebulae glow due to radiation from young stars, called emission nebulae. Others reflect the light of stars, known as reflection nebulae. Planetary nebulae are formed when aging stars blow off their outer layers.
Stars
A star is a ball of plasma held together by gravity that undergoes nuclear fusion at its core, releasing electromagnetic radiation. Stars exist along a spectrum from hot, blue stars to cooler, red stars and can be classified based on their temperature, luminosity, and color. A star's life cycle begins as a contracting nebula and progresses through stages such as the main sequence, red giant, planetary nebula, and white dwarf before ending as a neutron star or black hole.
The sun
The sun is the largest object in the solar system, containing over 99% of its mass. It emits light and heat that support life on Earth and influence all solar system objects. The sun has various internal layers, including the core where energy is produced through nuclear fusion, and an outer atmosphere. Sunspots, solar flares, and other features periodically appear on its surface. In a few billion years, the sun will expand and grow hotter, eventually making Earth uninhabitable.
Characteristics of Stars
Stars are giant balls of gas, mostly hydrogen, that undergo nuclear fusion. They vary in characteristics like color, temperature, size, brightness, and chemical composition. Color depends on temperature, from red stars at around 2000°C up to blue stars at over 50,000°C. Distance is measured in lightyears, with nearby stars like Sirius being 8.5 lightyears away and more distant stars hundreds or thousands of lightyears. The magnitude scale classifies brightness, with first magnitude stars being the brightest. Spectroscopes are used to analyze a star's spectrum and reveal details about its composition.
The milky way galaxy
The Milky Way Galaxy is a spiral galaxy that contains the solar system and Earth. It is estimated to be 100,000 light years in diameter and contains millions to billions of stars. The galaxy is composed of a disk, halo, and central bulge. Spiral arms in the disk contain dense clouds of gas and dust where new stars are forming. The sun orbits near the edge of the disk at a distance of about 8.2 kiloparsecs from the galactic center. All elements heavier than hydrogen and helium were produced through nuclear fusion in earlier generations of stars within the Milky Way over billions of years.
Birth of a star
Stars are born in vast nebulae clouds of dust and gas scattered throughout space. Gravity gathers hydrogen in these clouds, causing them to grow denser and hotter over time. Eventually, the hydrogen heats up to 18 million degrees Fahrenheit, igniting nuclear fusion reactions that turn the hydrogen into helium - this is the moment a star is born. The color of stars depends on their temperature, ranging from hot blue-white to cooler and dimmer red. The largest known star is VY Canis Majoris, which could fit the sun inside it over 2,000 times.
Star characteristics
Stars have various characteristics including mass, size, temperature, color, and luminosity. A star's mass largely determines its other properties - more massive stars are hotter, denser, and have greater gravity. Stars are classified based on their surface temperatures, ranging from blue (hottest) to red (coolest). The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram plots stars' luminosities and temperatures, showing them distributed along the main sequence, as red giants, or as white dwarfs. A star's location depends on its mass and evolutionary stage.
Comets, asteroids & meteors
Comets and asteroids are remnants from the formation of the solar system. Comets originate from the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud and are icy bodies, while asteroids originate from the Main Asteroid Belt and are rocky fragments. Both have irregular shapes and sizes ranging from 1-100 km. Comets have highly elliptical orbits with periods of 75 years to millions of years, while asteroids have more rounded orbits with periods of 1-100 years. When a meteoroid from space enters the atmosphere, it becomes a meteor or "shooting star"; any fragments that reach the ground are called meteorites.
Constellations
A constellation is a group of stars that form an image in the sky. There are 88 officially recognized constellations in the world that were named by ancient Greeks and Babylonians over 6,000 years ago based on stories and figures. The document discusses facts about constellations like their movement and stories, the history of how they were established over centuries, and provides case studies of specific constellations like Draco the dragon, Grus the flamingo, Leo the lion, Ursa Major the big dipper, Indus, and Hydra the sea serpent.
The Life Cycle of a Star
Stars are formed from clouds of gas and dust called nebulae. As stars age and evolve, they progress through different stages - from stars to red giants or dwarfs to supernovae. The most massive stars may collapse into neutron stars or black holes. Black holes are objects so dense that not even light can escape their powerful gravitational pull. Material near a black hole forms a swirling accretion disk and is ejected at nearly light speed in powerful jets. Advancing technology is improving our understanding of stellar evolution and black hole formation.
Comets
This document discusses comets, asteroids, and meteors. Comets are dirty balls of ice that develop tails when passing near the sun. Asteroids are large chunks of rock and metal that orbit the sun. When asteroids and comet fragments enter Earth's atmosphere, they are called meteoroids. Most burn up and are seen as meteors, also known as shooting stars. If fragments survive entry and reach the ground, they are called meteorites. Large impacts from asteroids or comets in the past have created craters and possibly contributed to mass extinctions like the dinosaurs.
Stars - Stellar Evolution
A star is a hot ball of mostly hydrogen gas held together by gravity. In the core, nuclear fusion reactions generate energy by converting hydrogen to helium. This process is called stellar evolution. As the star's fuel is depleted, its structure changes. Stars evolve through different stages over their lifetimes, from main sequence stars to red giants or supergiants and eventually ending as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes depending on their original mass.
Constellations
The unaided human eye can see about 6,000 stars on a clear night, with about 3,000 stars visible at any given time. However, light pollution limits the number of visible stars to a few hundred for most locations. The apparent brightness of celestial objects is measured on the magnitude scale, with 1st magnitude stars being the brightest and 6th magnitude stars being the faintest visible to the unaided eye. Constellations help organize the sky into defined regions, though the stars within a constellation may be located at different distances.
Stellar evolution 2015
The document discusses various topics relating to stellar characteristics and evolution. It begins by explaining blackbody radiation and Wien's law, which show the relationship between an object's temperature and the wavelength of its peak emission. This allows astronomers to determine a star's surface temperature from its spectrum. The rest of the document discusses stellar classification schemes, the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, the life cycles of different types of stars such as red giants and white dwarfs, and phenomena like supernovae, pulsars, and binary star systems. Spectral analysis provides insights into stellar physics and evolution.
Life Cycle Of Stars
All stars begin as nebulae of dust and gas that collapse under gravity into protostars. They fuse hydrogen into helium during the main sequence stage, which is the longest phase in a star's life. A star's ultimate fate depends on its mass. Small mass stars become white dwarfs after the main sequence, while medium mass stars become red giants then white dwarfs. Large mass stars over 15 solar masses may explode as supernovae, leaving behind neutron stars or black holes.
Comets, Asteriods, and Meteors
Recent advances in space technology have allowed scientists from different fields to collaborate on studying Near-Earth Objects like comets and asteroids. Both comets and asteroids provide clues about the origins of our solar system. Several asteroids have been discovered to come close to Earth in recent years, including Asteroid 2012 DA14 which had a very close approach in February 2012. Impacts from asteroids and comets have affected Earth in the past and could cause catastrophic effects if a large one collided with Earth, though such collisions are rare.
Star Powerpoint
Stars are formed from clouds of dust and gas collapsing under gravity. They spend most of their life fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores, glowing from the heat and pressure of nuclear fusion. When stars run out of fuel to burn in their cores, they die - smaller stars may become white dwarfs, while larger stars explode as supernovae. The material from exploded stars then disperses to form new dust clouds, starting the next generation of star formation.

Cómo hacer una buena alimentación
El documento describe cómo llevar una alimentación saludable, señalando que la mayoría de las personas no se alimentan de manera saludable al ingerir demasiadas grasas, azúcares y aditivos, y comer más de lo necesario, en lugar de optar por una dieta rica en agua y nutrientes que promueva la salud física y mental.
Lecture: Stars
The document discusses how to measure and classify stars based on their luminosity, apparent brightness, temperature, and spectra. Luminosity measures a star's total energy output independent of distance, while apparent brightness depends on distance and is measured via photometry. To determine luminosity, both apparent brightness and distance must be measured. A star's temperature determines its color, from hot blue stars over 25,000 K to cool red stars under 3,500 K. Stars are classified into seven main categories - O, B, A, F, G, K, and M - based on their spectra and temperature, which indicate the elements present.
Spectral classification of stars
This document discusses how the spectral classification of stars can reveal information about their composition and temperature. It explains that stars are classified into seven main categories (O, B, A, F, G, K, M) based on their absorption spectra, with O being the hottest and M being the coolest. Each class is associated with a range of surface temperatures and colors. By analyzing a star's spectrum, astronomers can determine what chemical elements are present in its atmosphere and measure its temperature, allowing insights into its composition and properties.
Muscles
There are three main types of muscles in the body - skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscles are voluntary and allow movement, while smooth and cardiac muscles are involuntary. Muscles can be flexors that bend parts of the body or extensors that straighten parts. Exercise includes resistance training that works against gravity and aerobic exercise that elevates the heart rate such as running or biking. Common muscle injuries are strains from overstretching, tears from complete separation, and tendinitis from inflammation without proper rest.
Sky science vocabulary 2
The document discusses magnitude, stars, satellites, and the pole star. It defines magnitude as a 6-class scale to measure star brightness, with 1st magnitude being the brightest. It describes stars as gaseous bodies that produce their own energy through light and heat. Satellites are defined as man-made or natural bodies like the Moon that orbit larger objects. The pole star is identified as Polaris, a bright star that remains fixed in the northern sky and serves as a useful navigational marker.

3 conduction, convection and radiation
This document discusses three methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.
Conduction involves the transfer of kinetic energy through direct contact between particles. Metals are good conductors because their free electrons can easily gain and transfer energy. Convection involves the transfer of heat by the circulation of fluids (liquids or gases). Hot fluids rise and cold fluids sink, creating convection currents. Radiation involves the emission and absorption of electromagnetic waves, including infrared radiation, and does not require a medium for transfer. According to Wein's law, the peak wavelength of radiation emitted by a black body is inversely proportional to its temperature.

Characteristics of-star
Stars are giant balls of hot gas formed through the fusion of hydrogen into helium. They vary greatly in size, temperature, color, and stage of life. Astronomers classify stars based on these characteristics, such as by temperature (hot blue/white vs cooler red/orange) or stage (young dwarf stars vs older supergiant stars). Stars are born from collapsing clouds of dust and gas, begin nuclear fusion, and eventually die when they run out of fuel to burn.
Light em&bigbang
The document discusses the electromagnetic spectrum and the Big Bang theory. It explains that electromagnetic radiation consists of photons with different wavelengths and energies. The farther away objects are observed, the farther back in time we see them due to the finite speed of light. Measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation provide evidence that the universe began in a hot, dense state around 13.7 billion years ago and has been expanding and cooling ever since, as predicted by the Big Bang theory.

Light and color can be understood through the interaction of light with matter. Mixing colors of light involves combining the primary colors of red, blue, and green light to produce other hues. White light is made through mixing all three primaries. Mixing pigments through color subtraction absorbs more light colors. Freezing and melting are physical changes between solids and liquids that occur at specific temperatures as particles gain or lose energy to overcome attractive forces.
Universe Ohpp
The document summarizes key concepts in astronomy, including:
- Astronomy is the study of objects outside Earth, while astrology uses celestial objects to predict events.
- Light and other electromagnetic radiation provide information about distant stars and galaxies. Spectral analysis reveals the composition of stars.
- The universe is immense, with distances measured in light years due to the finite speed of light. Stars have different properties based on size, temperature, brightness, and more.
- Stars evolve over their lifetime according to nuclear fusion processes in their cores until ending as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes depending on their mass.
- Galaxies come in spiral, elliptical, and irregular forms, with the Milky Way
Light
This document discusses the properties and importance of light. It explains that there are two types of light: natural light from the sun, moon, stars, and fireflies, and artificial light created by humans like candles and light bulbs. Light travels very fast, is a form of energy that travels in waves, and can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed as it interacts with different materials and objects. The document also describes how vision works and how we see color depending on which wavelengths of light are reflected or absorbed by various surfaces.
The Evolution of a Star
Nebulae consist of gas and dust clouds where stars are born. Stars spend most of their lives on the main sequence, fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores. Eventually they run out of fuel and die, either exploding as supernovae or shedding their outer layers as planetary nebulae. What remains depends on the star's mass - it can become a neutron star, black hole, or white dwarf.

Sun Light and Sun Atoms
*
All cannot live on the piazza,
but everyone may enjoy the sun.
- Italian proverb
*
Earthbound humans knew almost nothing about the sun until the early 19th century.Then, the German optician Joseph von Fraunhofer studied the solar spectrum and found it interrupted by some 600 dark lines.These represented colors that are missing from the sunlight Earth receives.
*
As scientists realized that these spectral lines were related to the presence of various types of atoms in the sun’s atmosphere, a window finally opened to real understanding of the sun’s nature.
*
In this chapter, you will look through that window—by considering how the sun produces light and how atoms interact with light to make spectral lines.
*
Once you understand that, you will know how astronomers have:Determined the chemical composition of the sunMeasured motions of gas on the sun’s surface and in its atmosphereDetected magnetic fields that drive the sun’s cycle of activity
*
The Sun—Basic CharacteristicsIn its general properties, the sun is very simple. It is a great ball of hot gas held together by its own gravity. The tremendously hot gas inside the sun has such a high pressure that it would explode were it not for its own confining gravity. The same gravity would make it collapse into a small, dense body were it not so hot inside.
*
Like a soap bubble, the sun is a simple structure balanced between opposing forces that, if unbalanced, would destroy it.
The Sun—Basic Characteristics
*
These dramatic statements are also true for other stars.So, you can study the sun for insight into the rest of the stars in the universe.
The Sun—Basic Characteristics
*
Another reason to study the sun is that life on Earth depends critically on the sun. Very small changes in the sun’s luminosity can alter Earth’s climate.A slightly larger change might make Earth uninhabitable.Nearly all of Earth’s energy comes from the sun—the energy in oil, gasoline, coal, and even wood is merely stored sunlight.
The Sun—Basic Characteristics
*
Furthermore, the sun’s atmosphere of very thin gas extends past Earth’s position.Changes in that atmosphere—such as eruptions or magnetic storms—can have a direct effect on Earth.
The Sun—Basic Characteristics
*
When you watch the sun set in the west, you see a glowing disk that is 150 million kilometers (93 million miles) from Earth and has a diameter 109 times Earth’s.How do you know this?
Distance and Size
*
You have learned that, thanks to the work of Johannes Kepler in the 17th century, the relative sizes of the orbits of the planets were already known in astronomical units.1 AU is equal to the average distance of the sun from Earth.
Distance and Size
*
Also, you have learned that the true distance of a nearby object can be calculated from the size of the apparent shift in its position relative to the background as seen from ...

Stars vary in size, color, temperature, brightness and composition. They are giant balls of gas held together by gravity. Stars produce energy through nuclear fusion at their cores, which makes them hot and bright. While the Sun appears white, other stars can appear different colors depending on their temperature - cooler stars appear red and hottest stars appear blue. Distance also affects a star's apparent brightness. Astronomers use tools like spectroscopy to learn more about stars.
Light Energy, Heat Energy and Electricity Energy
This document discusses light, sound, heat, and electricity. It defines each one and provides examples of sources and uses. Light comes from natural sources like the sun, moon, and stars or artificial sources like light bulbs. Heat is a form of energy that can be produced through processes like burning, friction, or electricity. Heat travels between objects by conduction, convection, or radiation. The document also explores uses of light and heat in daily life.
Stars.ppt
Stars are balls of plasma held together by gravity. Nuclear fusion in their cores releases electromagnetic radiation, providing heat and light. Stars exist on the main sequence for most of their lives but eventually exhaust their fuel. Small stars will become white dwarfs, while larger stars may explode as supernovae, leaving behind neutron stars or black holes.
7.2 characteristics and evolution of stars
1) Stars begin as clouds of dust and gases called nebulae. Under gravity, the gases condense to form protostars and begin nuclear fusion, becoming main sequence stars like our Sun.
2) As stars age, they expand and become red giants or supergiants after exhausting hydrogen fusion. Further fusion of helium produces carbon.
3) When further fusion is no longer possible, the star collapses into a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole in a supernova explosion, depending on the star's original mass.
Stars2.ppt
Stars are balls of plasma held together by gravity. Nuclear fusion in their cores releases electromagnetic radiation, making stars visible. Characteristics include distance, measured in light-years; magnitude (brightness); temperature determining color; and size measured against our Sun. Stars are classified by temperature. Most spend their main sequence lifetime on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. Eventually stars die, with outcomes like planetary nebulae, white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes depending on their mass. Constellations are recognizable star patterns with traditional names.
Light color-sl
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels in waves or particles called photons. It comes from the sun and stars, where electrons in atoms get excited and jump to higher orbits. When they fall back down, they emit photons of light. The color of light depends on the energy level of the electron jump. Light can act as both a particle and a wave, traveling at 300 million meters per second. When light interacts with matter, it can be transmitted, reflected, absorbed, or scattered depending on the object. Astronomers study light from stars to learn about their composition, temperature, and movement.

Colors of stars 6
- 2. • Stars radiate light a little like glowing coals in a campfire. Just as a glowing red- hot coal is cooler than a white-hot coal, for example, so a red star is cooler than a white star, and a white star is cooler than a blue star. This was a major scientific discovery… simply by measuring the color of light coming from a star, and applying a little physics, it was possible to estimate a star’s surface temperature.
- 3. Why are the STARS different color?
- 4. • Stars appear to be exclusively white at first glance. But if we look carefully, we can notice a range of colors: blue, white, red, and even
- 5. Why should this be? Why should the stars come in so many colors? Why not just white?………….
- 6. • It turns out the answer is because they are hot. All matter emits radiation, peaking at a wavelength (which can sometimes be seen as a color) which is dependent solely on the temperature of the body.This is known asWein's law (pronouncedVeen's law).
- 7. • Most objects we encounter in everyday life are somewhere around room temperature. Give or take a few thousand degrees.This effect, known as blackbody radiation, happens to all objects, regardless of it's temperature. Objects which have a surface temperature just a few degrees above absolute zero (which is -273 c.) radiate most of their radiation in the form of radio waves. Hotter than that, and the object glows in microwaves.
- 8. • After that, it radiates largely in the form of infrared waves. Hotter still, and the object glows red, then orange, yellow, green, then blue.This is the reason metal glows when it is hot.When the temperature is hot enough to have the atoms or molecules moving at wildly different speeds at the surface, all at around room temperature, the object will be seen to glow white hot, as white light is made from a composite of all the visible colors.
- 9. • When an object reaches a temperature where it becomes too hot to radiate black body radiation in the visible wavelengths, it will shine in ultraviolet wavelengths. Hotter still, x-rays, and finally gamma rays. • • Why does this happen? Because as an object grows hotter, there is, logically, more energy being released. As the energy level of radiation is increased, the wavelength becomes shorter and shorter. When the human eye perceives different wavelengths of visible light, we interpret it as different colors. This is why a rainbow always appears with the same colors in the same order. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. You will never see a rainbow with any
- 10. Why are some stars brighter than others? • In general, a star’s brightness depends upon its distance from us, its temperature and its size. With stars of the same size, the hotter stars will the brighter. With stars at the same distance and of the same size, the hotter stars will be the brighter. With stars at the same distance and the same temperature, the larger stars will appear.
- 11. • The coolest stars are around 3,000 degrees c.They are the red stars. Stars like the sun are next, glowing at about 6,000 degrees c., and are, of course, orange/yellow (although as we discussed last week, the Sun is greener than you think). • 10,000 degrees c. will buy you a green star, and the going price on a blue star is around 25,000 degrees c.There are cool stars which radiate in the infrared, and will last dozens of billions of years.There are stars which expend their energy in the ultraviolet, and will last only a fraction of the lifetime of the Sun. Many of these stars cannot be seen with the
- 12. Colors of stars from hottest to coldest
- 14. • Notice that hottest stars are blue, while coldest stars are red. This seems unusual to most people, who associate red whit hot and blue with cold. This is because we see fire as yellow, orange or red, but light produced by hotter sources is blue.
- 16. Get ⅟₄ sheet of paper and answer the following questions!
- 17. Are you ready for the short quiz???
- 18. 1.Why are stars has a different color? 2. What color of a star is the hottest star? 3.Which is brighter ? Hotter or Cooler? 4. 5. Give me atleast 2 examples colors of stars.
