How do astronomers determine the surface temperatures of the stars?
By their color, primarily. There is a very strong correlation between the stars color and it's temperature.
Which stars have the highest surface temperatures red star or blue stars?
Blue stars have the highest surface temperature, at over 7,500 Kelvin. The surface temperature of red stars is less than 5,000 Kelvin.
How do you determine a stars luminosity?
To determine a star's luminosity is from size and temperature.
What color star has the highest surface temperature?
Red stars have the coolest surface temperature. Blue color stars have the highest surface temperature. The Sun belongs to the main sequence stars.
What characteristics do scientists measure to determine the temperature and composition of stars?
the light radiated from the stars
How do astronomers determine the surface temperatures of the stars?
By their color, primarily. There is a very strong correlation between the stars color and it's temperature.
What is the color of stars with the lowest surface temperature?
the color of stars with the lowest surface temperature is red
How did early scientist group stars?
Temperature
How do stars get their colors?
The Color of stars depends upon their surface temperature.
Blue vs red stars?
Red stars have the coolest surface temperature while blue stars have the highest surface temperature. NERD!
What is the color of the stars that have the lowest surface temperature is?
Red stars have the lowest surface temperatures.
Which stars have the highest surface temperatures red star or blue stars?
Blue stars have the highest surface temperature, at over 7,500 Kelvin. The surface temperature of red stars is less than 5,000 Kelvin.
What classification of stars has the lowest surface temperature?
Black dwarfs have the lowest surface temperature.
Scientists determine the composition and temperature of stars?
To determine the chemical composition of stars, scientists look at what's called the emission spectrum of the stars, which can be obtained from the light coming from the stars. Thin lines are observed in different parts of the spectrum, which correspond to different chemicals. In other words, the lines are like fingerprints of chemicals. By looking at these fingerprints, one can determine what type of chemicals are present in the star. To determine the surface temperature of stars, we use the Wien's Law. It states that: Peak wavelength x Surface Temperature = 2.898x10-3 Peak wavelength can be determined by looking at the light coming from the star in question. It is the wavelength with the highest intensity.
What determines how bright stars are?
Size and temperature determine the brightness of stars.
How do you determine a stars luminosity?
To determine a star's luminosity is from size and temperature.
What is the color of the star with the lowest surface temperature?
the color of stars with the lowest surface temperature is red
