The unit used to measure the distance between stars.
What is a light year?
100
Supernova will end as this
What is a black hole?
100
Huge, arching columns of gas between the magnetic field of sunspots on the Sun.
What is a prominence?
100
This is the amount of stars a galaxy can hold.
What are billions
100
The main feature(s) of the universe.
What are galaxies?
200
The method used to measure the distance of stars close to Earth by viewing the star from Earth's location at one time during the year and then six months later.
What is parallax?
200
This stage occurs when the core of a star has fused all of its hydrogen into helium.
What is a giant?
200
The layer of the sun next to the core.
What is the radiation zone?
200
A type of galaxy with an oval 3-D shape and older stars.
What is elliptical galaxy?
200
The objects in the universe with the most gravitational force
What are black holes?
300
The most common elements in which stars are composed of.
What are hydrogen and helium?
300
The one factor that determines the outcome of a star's life cycle.
What is starting mass?
300
Temporary regions in the Sun's surface that are cool.
What are sunspots?
300
Type of galaxy with no specific shape
What is an irregular galaxy?
300
An explanation that states all matter and energy exploded from one point and has been expanding apart ever since.
What is the big bang theory?
400
The property of stars that scientists use to determine the temperature of a star.
What is color?
400
The joining of two nuclei of hydrogen atoms to form helium with extreme amounts of energy being released.
What is nuclear fusion?
400
The layer of the Sun next to the corona.
What is the chromosphere?
400
This is the type of star system (think number) AND galaxy in which our star belongs.
Single start system and spiral galaxy.
400
The apparent change in the wavelength of a moving object. (Helps determine expansion or contraction)
What is the Doppler effect?
500
This is determined by the size and temperature of a star.
What is absolute magnitude?
500
Nebula, then protostar, main sequence, giant, and then finally white dwarf.
What is a low mass star life cycle?
500
Main difference between solar flares and CME's
What is solar flares are radiation and travel at the speed of light. CME's include particles of gas and travel slower.
500
The shift that shows the expansion of wavelengths using a spectrosope and evidence our universe is expanding
What is red shift?
500
The disagreement between Hugh Ross and others on the creation of the universe.
Describe evidence used for both sides
What is old earth vs young earth (or universe)?
Hugh Ross - evidence in Psalm 104 and Job for an old universe
ICR, Ken Hamm and others - Creation account is only in Genesis. The other segments of Bible are poetry and not historical accounts.
