I call it star light. Some more erudite folks might refer to it as stellar electromagnetic radiation.

What affects the luminosity of a star?
The total amount of light that the star radiates each second.
When light from a star passes though the star's outer gases what happens to some of the light?
some of the light is refracted,some of it is absorbed while the rest is scattered into the space
What kind of spectrum is a solar spectrum?
the answer to this question is when you use the power around you and it comes in as one so basically that is why it is called solar power
How far is Barnard's star to the sun in light years?
Barnard's star is about 6 light years away from the sun.
Why doesn't the moon not make light?
The moon is not a star. The moon only reflects the suns light. Only stars make light. Our sun is a star.
What does some of the light that radiates from a star do?
Is absorbed by elements in a stars atmosphere
What do stars do?
A star generates light and heat by nuclear fusion and radiates it away via elctromagnetic radiation.
How does Sirius receive it's light?
Sirius does not receive or reflect light, it transmits or radiates light. Sirius is a Star and thus similar to our Sun and thus converts Hydrogen into light by nuclear fusion.
What affects the luminosity of a star?
The total amount of light that the star radiates each second.
Why the sun a star but the moon is not?
A star is an object that radiates its own heat and light. A typical star is a superheated ball of hydrogen and helium that releases energy through nuclear fusion. The moon is much smaller and less massive than any star and is mostly made of rock. It does not produce its own light, but simply reflects light from the sun.
Earths nearest star radiates what type of energy?
Radiant and gravitational Energy.
What radiates its own light that people can see from Earth?
The sun, plus any other star bright enough to stimulate a response in the human ophthalmic system.
When light from a star passes though the star's outer gases what happens to some of the light?
some of the light is refracted,some of it is absorbed while the rest is scattered into the space
The layer of the sun that radiates most of the light that reaches earth is called the?
The Photosphere is the layer of the sun or any star that radiates light. This layer is extended into the Sun's surface until its plasma shows opacity, and reaches the equivalent of an optical depth of two-thirds. The Photosphere is the deepest part of a star that has photon transparency depending on wavelength.
How does the body give off radiation?
The body does not normally 'give off' radiation. The word, "Radiation" is usually taken to mean "Nuclear Radiation", which the body does not normally do, However . . . the body can 'radiate' heat, for instance. You see, 'radiation' means going away from a center along an infinite number of 'radiuses'. The Sun radiates heat, light, gamma rays, and so forth. (Yes, 'Ray' is a word also taken from 'Radius" (Ray-dius) Your flashlight radiates light and a bit of heat. A star which has gone 'nova' radiates light, heat, gamma rays, cosmic rays, X-rays and so on.
What are 3 physical features that change during the life of a star?
Within the lifetime of a star, its colour, its size, and the amount of heat it radiates will all change.
Use cosmos in a sentence?
A real star, shining out there in the cosmos for light years to come.
