100

The universe is still expanding; true or false

Is it true?
100
This determines a star's type of life cycle.

What is mass?

200

Are cooler, but more luminous than the main sequence stars of the same temperature.

What are red giants?

200
The sun is located in this area in the H-R diagram.

Is it near the center?

200

This type of galaxy has a large central bulge that has a flat disk with spiral arms.

What is a spiral galaxy?

The Steady-State theory was proven to be the more favorable theory than the Big Bang theory; True or False.

Is it false?
200

This is what a red supergiant turns into when it explodes.

What is a supernova?

300

This determines the relationship between a star's surface temperature and its absolute magnitude.

What is the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram?

300

These stars spend most of their time in this stage.

What is main sequence?

300

This type of galaxy is usually round and oval shaped.

What is an ellipical galaxy?

300

This theory states that the density of matter
in the ever-expanding universe will remain unchanged
overtime because matter is constantly created.

What is the Steady-State Theory?

300

A supernova will turn into either a black hole or a white dwarf; true or false

Is it false?

400

This determines the distance between Earth and the sun and other stars.

What is parallax?

400

This star has a high temperature but low luminosity.

What are white dwarfs?
400

THis galaxy is usually the smallest type of galaxy and has the youngest stars.

What is a irregular galaxy?
400

Redshift supports the Big Bang theory; true or false

Is it true?

 A red giant forms when the star runs out of this element for nuclear fusion.

What is hydrogen?

500

This is the nearest star to Earth.

What is Proxima Centari?

500

This star has a high temperature and high luminosity.

What are blue giants?

500

This is the amount of time from when a star is the brightest to when it again reaches maximum brightness.

What are variable stars?
