To accurately place the changes in temperature throughout the life of the star in the appropriate spots, here's how you might consider the general lifecycle of a star:
-
Temperature went higher: This usually occurs when a star enters the main sequence phase and fuses hydrogen into helium, leading to an increase in core temperature.
-
Temperature went higher and then lower: This could represent the later stages of a star's life, like when it expands into a red giant. During this phase, the outer layers cool slightly (going lower), but the core continues to heat up due to the fusion of heavier elements.
-
Temperature went lower: This typically occurs in the later stages after a star has shed its outer layers, such as during the white dwarf stage, where the surface temperature cools over time.
So, the correct order of placement in the image would be:
- Drop target 1: Temperature went higher.
- Drop target 2: Temperature went higher and then lower.
- Drop target 3: Temperature went lower.
Be sure to adjust depending on the specific diagram and context you have!
