ESSRT
What is on page 5 of the ESSRT
The life cycle of stars
what is the daughter decay product for carbon 14
Nitrogen 14
What is luminosity?
It compares the brightness of a star with the sun IF they were the same distance apart
- points if you didn't add the if
what are the 3 different types of planets?
Terrestrial planets, jovian planets and dwarf planets
what color would a star be if it was around 6000o K
Yellow
what page of the ESSRT can you find info on half lives
page 15
What is the Big Bang theory
The theory that the whole universe began as a dense mass that exploded and expanded outword
What are some of the concerns of solar flares?
During a flare-up, they will hit Earth and damage GPS, and a bunch of satellites
about 50x bigger
what do spectral lines tell us
to identify atoms and molecules that are used to identify the components of stars and planets
What page of your ESSRT is the electromagnetic spectrum and the spectral signatures on
page 3
how many years is a carbon 14 - nitrogen 14 half life
5730 years
Does the star have to be hot or cold for nuclear fusion to happen?
Hot
around how many exoplanets are there
5000+
What are the stages of a low mass star and a high mass star
Low Mass: Nebula-Red dwarf-white dwarf
High Mass: nebula - red supergiant- super nova - neutron star or black hole
what can page 2 on the ESSRT tell us?
Objects in our solar system data and nuclear fusion in massive stars
what happens in the Big Bang after dark ages clumps of matter form
gravity stars and galaxies form
What is a solar flare?
BIG explotions on the atmosphere around the sun
why does the moon have a bunch of craters and the Earth doesn't?
because it doesn't have a atmosphere
When spectral signature gets dark lines what does that mean
Light has passed through the gass and absorbs certain wavelengths of light
What is an H-R diagram and what page is it on in the ESSRT
A chart that shows the lumanosity, tempurture, solar radii and that stars point in its life cycle.
what type of star lives longer, high mass or low mass?
+ points if you say the average lifespan
High mass stars
HM - Millions of years LM- Billions of years
What is apparent magnitude?
measurement of how bright a star is just by looking in our sky.
what are some of the things in our solar system (name 8)
asteroids, planets, stars, moons, meteoroids, comets, metal, black holes, dust, etc.
Explain the process of Nuclear Fusion
Two H molecules are fused together to create Helium a neutron and energy (light)
