Stellar temperature can be measured by analysing the spectrum of light that stars emit; shorter wavelengths correspond to higher temperatures.

How can an angle of isolation be measured?

An isotherm might have something to do with it--but it does not measure the angle of isolation. I guess that astronomers detect the angle of the earth from the sun and then measure the temperatures of the atmosphere. Just a guess though.


What measures star distance from the Earth?

Stellar Parallax Astronomers estimate the distance of nearby objects in space by using a method called stellar parallax, or trigonometric parallax. Simply put, they measure a star's apparent movement against the background of more distant stars as Earth revolves around the sun.

How do astronomers measure the temperature of stars and what methods do they use to determine this crucial aspect of stellar characteristics?

Astronomers measure the temperature of stars by analyzing the light they emit. They use a method called spectroscopy to break down the light into its different wavelengths. By studying the intensity of different wavelengths, astronomers can determine the temperature of a star. This crucial aspect of stellar characteristics helps astronomers understand the life cycle and behavior of stars.

Why were early astronomers unable to detect stellar parallax?

Pressumably, they didn't have the high-precision devices required to measure those angles. You must consider that we are talking about extremely small angles - even the closest star has a parallax of less than one arc-second (1/3600 of a degree).
