Properties of stars
This is the order of the stars from warmest to hottest
What are red, orange, yellow, blue, and white?
This is the force of attraction between matter.
What is gravity?
In this layer, moving gases transfer energy toward the surface of the Sun.
What is the convection zone
This is where stars form. They are also called star nurseries.
What is a nebula?
This is a large celestial body that emits light and heat
What is a star
This is the brightness of a star as SEEN from Earth.
What is apparent magnitude?
This the law that states that an object at rest with remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion.
What is inertia?
In this layer, particles of light (photons) carry the energy from the core outward through EM waves
What is radiative zone
Depending on a star's mass, it will eventually evolve into one of these two giants.
What is red giant and super giant?
This is where the sun gets its energy. It is also called the combining of hydrogen atoms.
What is nuclear fuion?
This is the amount of energy (light) that a star emits from its surface. It is also called brightness.
What is luminosity?
This is the force of attraction between two objects.
What is gravitational force?
This is the innermost layer of the sun where nuclear fusion takes place.
What is the core
A contracting cloud of gas and dust with enough mass to form a star is called this.
What is a protostar?
This is a dark area on the sun's surface that is cooler than other areas.
What is a sunspot?
___________ stars burn gas _________ and brighter.
What is bigger and faster?
This is the exact center of an object's mass.
What is the center of gravity?
This is the surface of the sun and the inner layer of the sun's atmosphere.
What is the photosphere
When a super giant runs out of fuel, it does this.
What is supernova?
This is a huge, reddish loop of gas that protrudes from the sun's surface; often linking sunspots.
What is prominence?
This is how bright a star actually is at a standard distance of 32.6 light-years, or 10 parsecs.
What is absolute magnitude?
When two objects attract, they pull at the (same/different) gravitational force.
What is same?
These are the three layers of the sun's atmosphere
What are the photosphere, the chromosphere, and the corona?
When a red giant runs out of fuel, it will turn into this.
What is a white dwarf?
This is an eruption of gas from the sun's surface that occur when loops in sunspot regions suddenly connect.
What is solar flare?
