Spectroscopy
What is a spectrum?
The longest wavelengths
What are radio waves?
Groups of stars and their planets; ours is called the "solar system"
Star System
Is Earth considered inner or outer planets?
What is inner planets?
Mercury, Venus Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
We use this tool to split light into wavelengths for a spectral signature.
What is a spectroscope?
ROY G BIV
What is the visible ligth spectrum?
flattened cloud of dust and gas that rotated due to energy clumping, eventually forming the planets
The barrier that separates the terrestrial planets from the gas giants.
Asteroid belt
One the SUN
technique of splitting light into wavelengths
What is spectroscopy?
The shortest wavelength
What are gamma rays?
includes space and all the matter and energy within it
What is the universe?
What is the only other planet in our solar system that we believe could sustain life?
All stars begin their life in this
What is a star nebula?
Emission and absorption of EMR in specific wavelengths unique to each star is known as
What is a spectral signature?
ROY G BIV stands for...
What is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet?
collection of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity
What is a galaxy?
How many planets are in our solar system? Include Earth
8

Absorption means...
What is wavelengths absorbed...
List the 7 forms of EMR from longest to shortest wavelength?
What is...
Radio

X-RAY
Gamma
cloud of dust and gas from which planets and the sun formed
What is a solar nebula?
The relationship between a meteoroid, a meteor and a meteorite.
Meteoroid is floating in space, the meteor is traveling through Earth's atmosphere and a meteorite has made it to the surface (land).
Our sun is this kind of star
What is a yellow dwarf?
