The chemical composition of stars is determined by the emission lines present in the light from stars. The emission lines are characteristic of a given element. However, because of the Doppler effect and the numerous emission lines of some elements, this technique can be more difficult in practice than it appears.

Determine the volumetric composition of water?
What is volumetric composition of water
How do you determine the composition of a new star that is located outside the solar system and inside our galaxy?
By looking at the spectrum of its light and finding out which absorbtion lines can be seen. The lines correspond to specific elements in the outer parts of the star.
What are three ways we determine a star?
It isn't clear what you want to determine about the star.
How do you determine the composition of metamorphic grade of an amber?
Optical spectrophotomerty
Can Scientists learn about the chemical composition of stars by analyzing the light they transmit.?
Scientists can learn the composition of a star from the amount and types of electromagnetic radiation, including light, that it gives off. Additionally, scientists can determine the rate of nuclear fusion from the amount of light released per unit of time.
How do scientist determine the composition of a star?
the colors and lines in the spectrum of a star indicates the elements that make up a star
The spectral type of a star measure?
The spectral type of a star is what measures its chemical composition. The visible light that bounces off of it can be used to determine the composition.
One way in which scientists can determine the surface temperature of a star is by its A. brightness. B. composition. C. color. D. mass.?
its color does determine the temperature of star.
What instrument do the astronomers use to determine the chemical composition of a star?
They use a spectrograph to pass light through a prism to break it the light waves into its constituent colors. Then by looking at what colors are missing they can determine both the temperature and composition of the star.
What acts as fingerprints to help scientists determine a star's composition?
Spectral lines - nn
Do Astronimers use Microscopes?
no.
Spectrographs help astronomers determine a star's what?
The star's chemical composition; the star's rotation; pulsations of the star; planets or other invisible objects moving around the star; how quickly the star is moving towards us or away from us.
Determine the volumetric composition of water?
What is volumetric composition of water
How can composition of the sun explain that it is a young star?
Fusion in the sun converts Hydrogen into Helium, so finding out how much Helium is in the Sun can determine how old it is.
How do you determine the composition of a new star that is located outside the solar system and inside our galaxy?
By looking at the spectrum of its light and finding out which absorbtion lines can be seen. The lines correspond to specific elements in the outer parts of the star.
How you can determine the star of a star planet?
You can determine star of a star planet by its color also you can determine its temperature by its color by:Joshua R. Dapitillo thanks=)
What are three ways we determine a star?
It isn't clear what you want to determine about the star.
