How you use a spectrometer to help us determine what stars and planets are made of?
Stars and planets are made up of many different atoms. When scientists pass the light coming from the star or planet through the spectrometer they get an emission spectrum. We can compare this emission spectrum to a situation where many people have put their fingerprints in the same spot. The scientist is like a police officer that has to sort them all out.
To do this they analyze the emission spectrum to see which atom's individual light fingerprints are in there. In this way, they can use the light from stars and planets to find out what the star or planet is made of.

How do you determine the wavelength using spectrometer?
To determine the wavelength using a spectrometer, you would pass light through the device and observe the resulting spectrum of wavelengths. The spectrometer will provide a readout or graph showing the intensity of light at different wavelengths, allowing you to identify the wavelength of interest based on the peak intensity. Additionally, calibrating the spectrometer with known wavelength sources can help accurately determine the wavelengths of unknown samples.
How does gravity help planets and stars and solar system?
it keeps it in orbit
What used to help humans determine the temperature of stars?
spectral analysis
Can you see other planets outside our solar system. Or are they all just stars. How about if you use a telescope?
You cannot see planets outside our solar system with the naked eye. And, only a rare few can be seen with the most powerful telescopes. Most are detected by way of indirect measurements -- by observing their effect on their suns (stars).
Who looks through telescopes at the stars?
Astronomers typically look through telescopes at the stars to study celestial objects such as planets, stars, galaxies, and other phenomena in the universe. They use telescopes to gather data and make observations that help expand our knowledge of the cosmos.

What can astronomer help us understand?
Outer space, such as stars, moon, other planets, e.t.c.
What are the bright lights next to the moon?
The bright lights next to the moon could be planets such as Venus or Jupiter, or even stars. Planets tend to appear brighter than stars and have a steady, non-twinkling light. The specific location and time of observation can help identify which celestial bodies are next to the moon.
What objects do you see in the night time sky?
In the night sky, you can see stars, planets, the Moon, constellations, and sometimes satellites or shooting stars. These objects appear as points of light against the dark backdrop of space and can be observed with the naked eye or with the help of telescopes or binoculars.
What information is obtained from a mass spectrometer?
A mass spectrometer detects what percent of an element each isotope is present in. For example, hydrogen comes in three forms, with one proton in each one and zero, one, and two neutrons. A mass spectrometer fires ions of the hydrogen atoms, which are flung out at different parts of the detector. All of the hydrogen of one type falls onto the same part of the detector, thus allowing us to determine how much of each isotope there is.
How can you determine what material a ring is made of?
To determine what material a ring is made of, you can use various methods such as conducting a visual inspection, performing a scratch test, using a magnet to check for magnetic properties, or seeking professional help from a jeweler who can use specialized tools like a spectrometer to analyze the composition of the material.
When evidence from an explosion reaches the lab what is one of the first technologies used to analyze it?
One of the first technologies employed after an explosion is an Ion Mobility Spectrometer (IMS). This device can be used in a mobile lab to help determine the type of explosive that was used.
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.
