Anything Goes
100
The star type is the hottest.
What is O?
100
A star spends 90% of its life in this stage.
What is the main sequence stage?
100
This is an early star, and just before a star is born.
What is a protostar?
100
The nucleus of one atom of this element has 1 proton and 0 neutrons
What is hydrogen?
100
Contains a list of all elements that we find on Earth
What is periodic table?
200
Our sun is this type.
What is G?
200
This is the stage after a main sequence.
What is a giant?
200
This stage burns hydrogen 2x as fast a low-mass star.
What is main sequence?
200
When energy is release from this, it counteracts the inward force of gravity.
What is nuclear fusion?
200
A graph that shows the relationship between surface temperature and luminosity.
What is H-R diagram?
300
The color of this star type is red.
What is M?
300
This stage of a star life is mainly made of carbon.
What is white dwarf?
300
After a supernova, there are three types of matter that can exist.
What is black hole, pulsar, or neutron star?
300
A star moves off the main sequence when...
What is it stops fusing nuclear fuel in its core and starts to expand.
300
Determines how long a star stays in main sequence stage
What is mass and luminosity?
400
This type of star is cooler than a F star type
What is G?
400
This stage has its outer atmosphere of gases released into space.
What is white dwarf?
400
This a explosion and destroys the star
What is a supernova?
400
When the star is out of hydrogen fuel, this happens to the temperature of the core.
What is a decrease in temperature of the core?
400
The surface temperature of this star type is between 7,300 K and 11,000 K.
What is A?
500
This is the sequence of star types from hottest to coolest.
What is O,B,A,F,G,K,M?
500
This is the sequence of stages of a star
What is nebular, protostar, main sequence, giant, white dwarf, black dwarf
500
The is the sequence of a high mass star.
What is nebular, protostar, main sequence, supergiant, supernova, neutron star or black hole or pulsar
500
When two atomic nuclei of a lighter elements combine and release energy to form a heavier element.
What is nuclear fusion?
500
Which star would most likely be the oldest? Our sun, blue star, red giant.
