Stars
These stars have high luminosity but have lower surface temperatures compared to main-sequence stars.
Giants
Why is Venus the hottest planet in the solar system?
Thick, CO2 rich Atmosphere
To what state of matter are gases in the sun changed due to its high temperature?
Plasma
It is known as Earth’s twin due to its similar size and structure to Earth.
Venus
This was the first epoch - characterized by energy and the presence of the superforce
Planck Epoch
In the Morgan-Keenan (MK) system, which letter signifies the stars with the lowest temperatures and what color can you expect them to be?
M - RED
Often called "space rocks" or floating boulders
Meteors
Which solar activity refers to high-energy explosions near sunspots?
Solar Flare
The unit of measurement used to describe the approximate distance between Earth and the Sun.
Astronomical Unit
These two epochs are collectively referred to as the nucleon freezeout
Lepton and Hadron Epochs
Diffused clouds of dust and gas that drift through space.
Nebulas
These celestial bodies typically originate from the Oort cloud or the Kuiper Belt
Comets
What are some examples of an impact of geomagnetic storm on Earth?
A smaller pattern of stars in a constellation.
Asterism
This baked item is often used as a model for the expanding universe.
Why is this a good analogy?
Raisin- Bread model
The raisins (galaxies) do not expand. They only move apart as the dough (the universe) rises/expands
a highly magnetized, rapidly rotating neutron star that emits beams of electromagnetic radiation from its magnetic poles.
Pulsar
What other name are they known by and which planet lends them that name?
Jovian - Jupiter
What part of the star functions as a nuclear reactor
The Core
Second stage of the star life-cycle for ALL stars
Protostar
The scientific term for the formation of elements such as hydrogen and helium.
Nucleosynthesis
To which class does the sun belong?
F (yellow-dwarf)
Known as minor planets and are classified based on composition and location
Asteroids
The deepest layer of the Sun that can be directly observed and what can be considered as the sun’s surface.
Photosphere
Why would we NOT want to travel to the center of the Milky Way Galaxy?
The center of the Milky Way has a supermassive blackhole which can suck up all the celestial bodies that go near it.
A type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter that combine to form composite particles called protons and neutrons
quarks
