How is a star simmular to the Sun if it has the same absorption lines in its spectrum that occur in the Sun's spectrum?

because they will have the same elements in the atmosphere...

∙ 8y agoThe spectrum of a star shows what elements are present so that the composition can be approximated. Stars with similar spectra will have a similar composition.

Why are there empty spaces in the emission spectrum?
"Emission Spectrum" can mean a number of things... Many objects emit light and they all have an emission spectrum, that is a set of wavelengths of light that they give out. The emission spectrum for an L.E.D. bulb for instance is pretty narrow, just one visible colour. The emission spectrum of a star is very wide, encompassing non-visible light as well. It is probably these stellar emission spectra you are referring to, so I'll go on from that assumption. The fusion processes within a star (at most levels from core to surface, but mostly in the core) create most of a spectrum, but some of this light is absorbed by the outermost layers. That is why we see gaps, and molecules of certain types absorb certain parts of the spectrum, so we use the spectrum to determine composition. We also see spectra from diffuse bodies like nebulae. These are, broadly, of 2 types, emission and absorption. Absorption spectra occur when we observe a known star through the cloud, and extra lines missing beyond what we expect of the star will be emblematic of the constituents of the cloud. Emission spectra from clouds can also occur, that is when the light falling on them is not aligned with us, what we see is several narrow bands of light, which has been absorbed and re-emitted by the cloud.
Under what conditions does the equinox occur?
The conditions on Earth for the equinox to occur must include the following: when the tilt of the Earth's axis is neither pointed towards the Sun or away from the Sun, and the center of the Sun lines up exactly with the Earth's equator.
What is the suffix for occur?
the suffix for occur is unccur
How may foliation occur in metamorphic rock?
The foliation is caused by the massive force of pressure and high temperature which results from mountain building processes caused by plate collisions. The heat and pressure combine to realign the existing minerals from a random orientation to one of parallel orientation, thus creating the visible lines or platy cleavages found in foliated metamorphic rocks. The lines of foliation are created perpendicularly to the force being applied.
Why does rainfall not occur in deserts?
Rain does occur in deserts but not as frequently as in non-desert areas.

How do you identify redshift occur in nano particle determination?
As the band gap of the nano particle decreases,the strong absorption edge shift towards red of the electromagnetic spectrum,which is called redshift.
