This stage of star's life occurs in a stellar nebula.
What is Protostar?
This specific type of nucleosynthesis only occurs in the core of stars.
What is stellar nucleosynthesis?
The majority of star's in the universe are on this line on the HR diagram.
What is main sequence?
This process prodices the energy the Sun emits.
What is nuclear fusion?
Term that describes how elliptical or circular an orbit is
What is eccentricity?
Our Sun is in this stage of its life.
What is main sequence.
Elements greater than Carbon can only be produces in this mass of stars.
What are high mass stars?
These stars are found at the very top of the HR diagram and to the right of the main sequence.
What is red supergiant?
This element is generated by converting hydrogen.
What is helium?

What is an ellipse?
Helium is produced in this stage of a star's life through the proton-proton chain reaction.
What is main sequence?
These stars are very hot with low luminpsity.
What are white dwarfs?
Our sun is expected to have a main sequence lifespan of...
What is 10 billion years?
This law helps to explain the velocity of a planet in its orbit.
What is Kepler's 2nd Law?
Carbon is produced from hydrogen in this stage of a low mass star's life.
What is red giant?
Energy from the Sun travels across the expanse of space via this transport method.
What is radiation?
The point in an orbit when the planet moves the fastest.
What is perihelion?
The lower the mass, the slower the rate of fusion, the longer the ...
What is lifespan?
The production of Iron (Fe) in the red supergiant, is the precursor ro this stage/death of a star.
What is supernoav?
The orbotal period increases as this increases.
