Explain why the study of comets asteroids and meteoroids is important to understand the formation of the solar system?
Because scientists study these objects to learn the composition of the solar system
How might emission spectra be used to study stars?
By studying the lines on the spectrum emitted by a star, scientists can determine what elements a star is composed of.
What is the name for study of stars?
The proper name for the study of stars is astronomy. A person who studies stars is an astronomer.
Instruments used by astronomers to study stars?
Astronomers used spectroscope to study stars....
What do astronamers study?
They study stars and planets.
What do astronomers use to study the stars and planets?
Scientists use 'spectroscopy' to study distant stars and they use spectral lines to study planets
What do scientists study to learn about the properties of stars?
Scientists study stellar spectra to learn about their properties such as temperature, chemical composition and relative chemical abundances, radial velocity, rotational speed etc.
What instrument is used to study the composition of the stars?
it is called a spectroscope it is an instrument used to study the composition of stars by analyzing the light they emit.
What do you call people who study stars?
Scientists who study the stars are called Astronomers.
How do scientists use wavelengths to study composition of stars?
They use a special kind of device that reads the wavelengths shown in the stars, i think. The wavelengths react differently to certain chemicals, but based on these wavelengths, the scientists can tell which chemicals are present or absent in stars.
Why do scientists study distant galaxies to learn about galaxies?
cuz they are explorers
What do scientists study to learn about stars?
Colors
How do you study stars and planets?
through telescopes.... the way scientists study them
Scientists study rocks using what important criteria?
Composition and Texture
Why scientists uses instrument to study stars?
telescope,spectroscope
To calculate the mass of a star scientists study?
the orbits of binary stars
Why do scientists study comets?
The study of comets may seem to be removed and irrelevant to studies on Earth. However, comets are thought to have had a huge impact on the evolution of life as we know it. It has been suggested that they brought water and some organic molecules to Earth, allowing life to begin. The study of the composition of comets allows scientists to draw parallels between our solar system and distant stars, and so can tell us about our own planet's history and also about far off galaxies. This obviously can have major implications for our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
