How scientist know so much about the sun?

Answer 1

Astronomer or Astrophysicist.

An astronomer is more focused on studies of the objects IN space, the stars, planets, asteroids, comets, and assorted space rocks. An astrophysicist is more interested in how stars work; the underlying core of the nuclear fusion process.

A cosmologist examines how the universe began, and is more aligned to studying the big picture.

Answer 2

its because astronomers use such technological advances as hubble, a space telescope that orbits earth and takes pictures of the solar system and deep space, and the sola and heliospheric observatory, a sattelite designed to continuosly study the sun.

Answer 3

You can learn about astronomy in many ways. There are many books and websites about it. There are also museums and institutes that you can visit to learn more about astronomy. If you want to find new online learning sources, you can try googling "astronomy" or something astronomy related. I would highly recommend NASA's website (see related links).

Answer 4

because hydrogen atoms combine together and give helium, when this reaction takes place, it gives a lot of heat energy and light. due to which it is easy to find out that there is helium on the sun.

Answer 5

reflecting telescope
refracting telescope
radio telescope
electromagnetic spectrum
spectroscope


(look them up, but those are the interments they use to study space...or some of them at least...i had to do a science project about all of these)

Answer 6

People have been observing the stars ever since cavemen howled at the moon at night. Thousands of years ago, before writing, people built stone monuments to act as observatories for charting the positions of the stars and planets. The stars, of course, are all far beyond our solar system, but the planets are all contained within it.

Galileo, arguably the first scientist, used glass lenses to magnify the light of distant planets--most notably Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus. The phases of Venus established that it orbited the sun, and did so closer than earth. The moons of Jupiter established that not all solar system bodies orbited the earth. Galileo showed that only our moon orbits the earth. Scientists ever since have been using larger and larger telescopes to answer questions and make new discoveries concerning our solar system.

Answer 7

Scientists use telescopes and technology to learn more about the solar system and past discoveries, still trying to prove discoveries from past scientists i.e Galileo, Copernicus, Ptolemy etc.They are still making new discoveries everyday and also trying to figure out unanswered questions!

Answer 8

The name for someone who studies space and its objects would be an astrophysicist whom would study astrophysics.

Answer 9

Astronomers and physicists, for starters. These folks make the study of space and everything in it (which, really, is EVERYTHING) their profession and business.

Answer 10

Scientist study space objects (planets, stars, moons, ext) with telescopes.
