1 answer
Here are the answers that fit into the blanks from Column A, matched with the appropriate terms from Column B:
A recognizable pattern of stars is called a s. Constellation.
Stars are composed of this substance, e. Plasma, that generates light and heat.
g. Visible Light Spectrum is the only portion of the Electromagnetic Spectrum that can be seen. Radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays are NOT examples of this.
How bright a star is FROM EARTH is called o. Apparent Magnitude (However, the brightness from a set distance is "Absolute").
All matter in space emits j. Electromagnetic radiation.
Astronomers study the pattern of dark lines given off by a star. This determines the star's chemical makeup/energy. This is called d. Spectroscopy (and spectral lines).
The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram compares a star's brightness, or m. Luminosity, with its color and temperature.
In a b. Nuclear Fusion reaction, two atoms collide and bind together to make a new atom. Hydrogen + Hydrogen = Helium!
The smallest elements in the periodic table, hydrogen, helium, and lithium, are considered c. Light elements.
p. Heavy elements are produced in stars through nuclear fusion. EX: iron or uranium.
The beginning stage of a star is known as i. Protostar, formed as hydrogen in a nebula spins faster and the temperature increases.
An average-sized star becomes a n. White dwarf when it has used up all of its hydrogen elements.
When a red giant’s core collapses, it sheds its outer layers known as a a. Planetary nebula.
The inner core of a red giant, called a k. Red Giant, eventually dims and cools and becomes a black dwarf.
When a RED SUPERGIANT expels heavy elements into space, a q. Supernova occurs.
One result of a supernova can create a r. Black Hole where gravity pulls all nearby matter and energy into its field.
The general collection and clumping together of particles to form a single solid in space is called f. Accretion.
Our Sun is in its most stable part of its Life Cycle, which is known as the h. Main Sequence.
l. Red Supergiants are massive stars with a red appearance that have high luminosity. Our Sun will actually not become one of these because it is considered too small.
