How far is the star Deneb?
The exact distance is unknown, but a 2008 study makes scientists believe that it is approximately 1,550 light years away
Is the Rigel star a high mass star or a low mass star?
High mass.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass sequence star?
The sun is an intermediate-mass star.
Are red stars old or new?
The color of a star does not directly determine its age. Red stars are large and a little less hot then the Sun. Scientists can use the color of a star to determine its heat and then using that and its mass determine how old it is.
Is Vega a small mass star or a large mass star?
Vega is just over twice the mass of the Sun.
Which star is the densest Antares spica or polaris?
Look up information about each star's mass and diameter, calculate the volume, and calculate mass / volume. Or simply assume that the star with the smallest diameter has the largest density. This is usually the case, since the stars' mass varies way less than their volume.
How do scientists study star?
They monitor were and how they move they look at the stars through telescopes and get a detailed look at the star so they can build they own models of it
What Units of measurement scientists use to study the solar system?
Light Years my star treck buddy.
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.
One way in which scientists can determine the surface temperature of a star is by its?
There are several things scientists can do to determine the surface temperature of a star. Formulas utilizing Wein's law and the Stefanâ??Boltzmann law can calculate stellar temperatures. However, for a rough estimate, scientists can also use the color of a star in order to determine surface temperature.
Which form of technology are scientist most likely to use to calculate the distance to a newly discovery planet?
Scientists would use the Doppler Effect to calculate the distance to a Star which had the newly-discovered planet.
Can you tell the age of a star?
By analyzing the proportions of hydrogen and helium in a star, and comparing the mass of the star to other stars, it's possible to calculate the approximate age of a star, but probably not to within 10%. A lot of it is guesswork.
How far is the star Deneb?
The exact distance is unknown, but a 2008 study makes scientists believe that it is approximately 1,550 light years away
Is the Rigel star a high mass star or a low mass star?
High mass.
How can scientists use their observations to infer the presence of a binary star when they cannot see the itself?
The visible star and the invisible star will attract each other. As a result, both will revolve around their center of mass; this movement, observed in the visible star, indicates there is an invisible star.
How star made of?
Our Sun is about 70% Hydrogen and 28% Helium by mass, with traces of heavier elements. Other stars can be a little different, but with a spectrometer, scientists are able to determine the elements that are present in any star.
Is the sun a lower mass star or a higher mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star on the main sequence.
