What can a stars spectrum can tell astronomers?
What makes up the star or element.
The light from stars are used to determine what?
The light from stars can tell us what type of star it is (our Sun is a G type), the stars spectrum can tell us what elements are in the star, and its intristic brightness can help us determine how far away it is. Also, if there is a wobble in the star, or a change it the stars brightness can tell us if it has a planet.
What can a star's spectrum tell us?
scientists can tell the stars composition and temperature from its spectrum. Hope tht helps :]
Can astronomers tell from the elements of a star what uts surface temperature is?
Yes, astronomers can estimate the surface temperature of a star based on its spectral type, which is determined by the elements present in its atmosphere. Each spectral type corresponds to a range of surface temperatures, allowing astronomers to make an educated guess about a star's surface temperature.
How do scientists tell if a star is warm or cold?
Scientists determine a star's temperature by analyzing its spectrum of light. The color and intensity of certain lines in a star's spectrum reveal its temperature. Hotter stars appear blue or white, while cooler stars appear red.
How is ultra violent studied by astronomers?
UV is studied in strength from stars like our sun. they use this to tell how old the other star is and how far it is from death
What can a scientist learn about from a stars spectrum?
scientists can tell the stars composition and temperature from its spectrum. Hope tht helps :]
What are 3 things that we can learn about a star by observing it's spectrum?
By observing far away stars in our galaxy through a spectroscope, we are able to see the spectrum that appears from the substances in these stars. Each element has a unique spectrum when light is shone through it, so we are able to determine what elements make up certain stars.
How do the astronomers measure the temperature of the Sun without going there?
Color Scientists use spectrometers to createthe color patterns produced by suns lightThus they can use spectrometer on earth withsome hot source to see what colors it can giveand thus the colors on sun can tell their temperature. This method is called Spectral Classification.
How does the light that astronomers see from distant stars and galaxies tell htem that the same atoms with the same properties exist throughout the universe?
We determine the types of elements contained in the star or within the corona by analyzing the spectrum of the light we receive. Each element will radiate at a set of specific discreet frequencies, and the frequencies they radiate tell us what the element is, and how deeply ionized it is. The spectral analysis is exact; we can even determine the proportions of the elements that we see by the relative brilliance of their light. But there IS one thing that the spectrum cannot tell us; is this a normal matter star, or an anti-matter star?
How do astronomers determine the temperature of a star and what methods do they use to make these calculations?
Astronomers determine the temperature of a star by analyzing its color and spectrum. They use a method called spectroscopy to measure the intensity of light at different wavelengths. By comparing the observed spectrum to theoretical models, astronomers can calculate the temperature of the star.
What is a star's emission spectrum?
The emission spectrum of a star is the spectrum of frequencies for emitted electromagnetic radiation during the transition of an atom's electrons from a high-energy state to a low-energy state. The emission spectrum can differ depending on the temperature and composition of the star.
