Stars
This has to happen before a star is considered a star
What is Nuclear Fussion?
Name the layers of the Sun starting at the core
Core, radiation zone, convection zone, photosphere, chromosphere, corona
This is the real name of the HR Diagram.
What is the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram?
All stars are born from this cloud of dust, particles, and gravity.
What is a nebula?
Massive stars end their life cycles in this.
What is a supernova?
The most common stars in any galaxy are this type
What are binary stars?
These cooler portions of the Sun are called this.
What are Sunspots?
The Sun is this type of star based on the HR Diagram.
What is a Main Sequence Star?
A star becomes a star when this begins.
What is nuclear fusion?
When the pressure of fusion acts against the pressure of gravity, this happens.
What is hydrostatic equilibrium?
The apparent shift in position caused by the movement of the observer is called this.
What is parallax?
The Sun's magentic behavior is directly correlated with the number of these that appear on the surface of the Sun.
What are Sun Spots?
The Giant Stars are brighter because of this, even though they are cooler.
What is they are giant stars, therefore they look brighter?
The more massive a star, the heavier of these are produced.
What are elements?
A burning loop of gas at the Sun's surface is this.
What is a prominence?
A parsec is equal to this many light years.
What is 3.26 light years?
The Sun's composition is similar to the Gas Giant planets due to this.
They formed at the same time from the same interstellar cloud.
Even though dwarf stars are small, they still have high this.
What are temperatures?
As a star ages, its density does this, until the fuel runs out.
What is increases?
The final remnant of a supernova is this.
What is a black hole.
Any pattern of stars that is named after animals, mythological creatures, or everyday objects is called this.
What is a constellation?
This would happen if the Earth had no Magnetosphere.
Solar radiation would harm all life on Earth.
The HR Diagram tells you these three things about stars.
What is temperature, magnitude, luminosity, and spectral type (color).
In the final stages of our Sun's life, it will become this.
What is a planetary nebula?
The beginning mass of dust and gas just before a star ignites is this.
A protostar.
