100

A star is born inside a cloud of dust, hydrogen and helium gasses called this.

Nebula

100

For most of a star's life it burns this gas as a fuel.

Hydrogen

100

A Red Giant star will turn into this small, hot, dense, white kind of a star when it runs out of helium gas.

White dwarf

100

A region of space time in which gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape.

Black hole

100

How bright a star APPEARS from EARTH is called [Apparent Magnitude/ Absolute Magnitude].

Apparent Magnitude

200

This is the process that causes stars to shine.

Nuclear Fusion

200

In main sequence stars like the sun, hydrogen fuses to become this gas.

Helium

200

A supernova occurs when this kind of star explodes.

Supergiant

200

The "point of no return", past which an object cannot escape the gravity of a black hole

Event horizon

200

The Milky Way is this kind of galaxy.

Spiral

300

A force of attraction between any two objects in the universe that have mass.

Gravity

300

In about 6 billion years, the sun will run out of hydrogen and become this kind of star.

Red giant

300

This kind of explosion creates all of the elements on the periodic table that are heavier than iron.

Supernova

300

When an object passes into a black hole and the unequal force of gravity causes it to stretch out into a long, thin shape like a strand of spaghetti.

Spaghettification

300

A bright star will have a [LOWER/ HIGHER] magnitude number than a dim one.

Lower

400

The force in a star that acts against gravity, causing expansion.

Fusion

400

Betelgeuse is a famous example of this kind of star.

Supergiant

400

The densest kind of star.

Neutron star

400

Found at the center of virtually all large galaxies.

Black holes

400

A red star is [hotter/ colder] than a blue one.

Colder

500

The force in a star that acts against fusion, causing contraction/ collapse.

Gravity

500

This element, when fused in the heart of a Supergiant, is toxic to stars.

Iron

500

Two possible results of supernova explosion.

Neutron star or Black hole

500

The point in the center of a black hole at which density and gravity become infinite.

Singularity

500

The three types of galaxies

Spiral, Irregular, Elliptical
