Stars like our Sun emit most of their light in which part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Stars like our Sun emit most of their light in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, specifically in the range of about 400 to 700 nanometers. This is primarily due to the surface temperature of the Sun, which is approximately 5,500 degrees Celsius (5,800 Kelvin). Additionally, the Sun also emits significant amounts of infrared and ultraviolet radiation, but the peak emission is in the visible spectrum.


What type of spectrum does the Sun's photosphere produce?

Visible light is a portion of the electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. Stars Emit their own light. visible Light has a Wavelength of around 80 or 400 nm to about 760 or 780 nm


If the sun is so hot why doesn't it burn blue of purple?

The color of a star is determined by its temperature. The sun's temperature (around 5,500°C) causes it to emit white light, with a peak in the yellow-green spectrum. Higher temperature stars appear blue or purple because they emit more energy in the ultraviolet and blue wavelengths.


Which of these does not emit light waves the moon or a light bulbor the sun or a campfire?

The moon does not emit light waves. It reflects light from the sun. The sun, light bulb, and campfire emit light waves through processes like nuclear fusion or combustion.


How did the sun get its color?

The sun's color results from the temperature of its outer layer, which emits light in the yellow part of the visible spectrum. Hotter stars tend to emit more light in the blue part of the spectrum while cooler stars are more reddish.

Which type of spectrum does the sun emit?

The sun emits a continuous spectrum, which includes all wavelengths of light across the electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrum results from the thermal radiation of the sun's surface.


Does the sun emit gamma rays?

Yes, the sun emits gamma rays as part of its electromagnetic radiation spectrum.

How does atomic spectrum differ from solar spectrum?

Atomic spectrum is produced when atoms emit or absorb light at specific energies, creating distinct lines or bands. Solar spectrum is the continuous spectrum of light emitted by the Sun, containing all wavelengths of light. Solar spectrum is produced by many elements and compounds in the Sun's atmosphere, creating a broad, continuous range of colors.


Does the sun and moon emit light?

the sun only emit light. not the moon. it will reflect the light of the sun.

In what portion of the electromagnetic spectrum does the sun emit most energy?

The sun's radiation comes as 45 percent visible light. 40 percent infared, and the remainder as Ultraviolet. This is why the Sun is damaging to our eyes as well as skin while giving us the light we need.


What type of light does photosphere emit?

The photosphere emits the visible light from the sun.


In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum do you emit most of your light?

Most of the light emitted by humans is in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.


What type of electromagnetic radiation does moon emit?

Moonlight is almost entirely reflected sunlight, with very small amounts of reflected starlight and earthlight as well. As such, it radiates at the same continuous spectrum as the sun, though it won't have the bright emission lines that the sun emits.


What kind of spectrum do your stars emit?

Red at one end, purple at the other.


Does the sun give off a discontinuous spectrum?

No. The sun gives off a full continuous spectrum.
