It's not possible in practice, but good estimates can be made based on the other properties of the star such as it's size, brightness and composition - which can be found through spectroscopy. We can also apply knowledge of our own star, the sun.

What does the color of a star provide a measure of?

The color of a star provides a measure of its temperature.


What would happen in the interior of a normal star if gravity were to shrink the star's size a small amount?

The interior temperature would increase. The rate of fusion would increase. The gas pressure would increase.


What two characteristics are stars classified by?

They are classified by the amount of Light they give off, and their temperature.


Is a red super-giant hot?

The colour of a star is a good measure of the surface temperature.


What is the luminosity of a star is related to?

It's related to its surface area (proportional to the square of its diameter, or radius); as well as to the temperature (the total energy emitted is roughly proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature).Ultimately, of course, the luminosity depends on the energy production in the star's interior, which depends, among other things, on the star's core temperature.


Do scientists use stellar parallax to determine a star's temperature?

No, scientists do not use stellar parallax to determine a star's temperature. Stellar parallax is a technique used to measure the distance to stars by tracking their apparent shift in position as the Earth orbits the Sun. A star's temperature is typically determined by analyzing its spectrum, which provides information about the star's composition and temperature through features such as absorption lines.


What is the average surface temp of star beta?

The average surface temperature of star Beta (β) can vary depending on the specific star that it refers to. Without a specific star identified, it is not possible to provide an accurate average surface temperature for star Beta.


What is used to determine the temperature of a star?

Star temperatures are determined through various calculations regarding its relative size, distance, and color. the principle of dopler effect is use full to measure the temperature of stars..


Why is possible to relate the temperature of a star to its luminosty or brightness?

By multiple observations it was noted that that correlation was true.


Why the temperature of the stars vary from one another?

The temperature in the core of a star depends, to a great extent, on:* The star's mass. The general tendency is that high-mass stars are hotter. * Where the star is in its life cycle. The star's core temperature will vary over time. On the other hand, the star's surface temperature also depends on its size. Thus, it is possible that PRECISELY because a star is hotter in the core, it gets bigger, and the surface temperature DECREASES (though its total energy output increases).


What is the temperature of the star nodus secundus in Draco?

Nodus Secundus in Draco is a star that can refer to several stars in the Draco constellation. Without specifying a particular star, it is not possible to provide an accurate temperature. Stars in Draco can range in temperature from a few thousand to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius.


Is their life on the sun?

If plasma based life is possible, I'm inclined to think that the surface/interior of a star is too turbulent and violent for it to evolve. Perhaps in the outer atmosphere of a star or in deep space.
