Stars
The property of stars that scientists use to determine the temperature of a star.
What is color?
What is conduction?
This is where nuclear fusion takes place in a star.
What is the core?
A type of galaxy with new stars-middle age stars and arms that rotate like a hurricane.
What is spiral galaxy?
Two main features of the universe. (Think what is smaller than the universe, what is the next smallest after that)
What are star systems and galaxies?
This is how bright a star appears from Earth
What is apparent brightness/magnitude?
Heat transfer through any space
What is radiation?
The layer of the sun next to the core where energy is radiated upwards to the outer layers of the sun.
What is the radiation zone?
A type of galaxy with older stars and very little dust/gas.
What is elliptical galaxy?
Large chunks of rock and iron that orbit the sun.
What are asteroids?
The most common elements in which stars are composed of.
What are hydrogen and helium?
Heat transfer through air or water currents
What is convection?
The visible layer of the sun's atmosphere
What is the photosphere?
This is the type of galaxy in which our star belongs.
What is a spiral galaxy?
Small pieces of asteroids that break off and drift through space. If they burn up in the atmosphere we sometimes call them shooting stars.
What are meteors?
This is how bright a star actually is.
What is absolute brightness/luminosity?
Can convection occur in through solid objects?
No
The layer of the Sun next to the corona.
What is the chromosphere?
This is the amount of stars a galaxy can hold.
What are billions and billions of stars?
A large ball of ice, rock, dust, and gas that forms a tail as it gets closer to the sun.
What is an asteroid?
This is what changes the apparent brightness of a star.
What is a distance from Earth?
If heat transfers from a liquid into a gas, is that convection? (Such as from ocean water into the air)
No
The outermost layer of the sun that extends for millions of miles.
What is the corona?
This type of galaxy has no definite shape, no center point, and very young stars
What is an irregular galaxy?
What are galaxies made of?
Stars, Dust, and Gas
