What is the star cycle in order and what is one thing about the stars in the star cycle.
sample answers; Nebula: collection of gases, Protostar: particles run into each other more causing heat, Brown Dwarf: it stays small and dim, Main sequence star: form a tiny star. LOW MASS: red dwarf: red, dum glow, white dwarf: hot core, Black dwarf: cold core. MEDIUM MASS: red giant: red and glowing but bigger than red dwarf, can become a Planetary Nebula: new nebula OR white dwarf: hot core, Black dwarf: cold core. HIGH MASS: Super giant: short life - too hot! Supernova: super giant collapses and it is super bright, can become neutron star: smaller and denser than white dwarf OR black hole:pulls everything in.
The phase's of the moon in order.
1. new moon 2. waxing crescent 3. First quarter 4. waxing gibbous 5. full moon 6. waning gibbous 7. third quarter 8. waning crescent
Why do we circumpolar constellations all year?
Because it is close to the north star, directly above the axis.
