Information that you can find about the star by looking at its spectra is its luminosity, surface temperature, its type(common/rare), color, how/if a star is moving, the density, the size, and future of the star.

2. And looking for spectral lines informs as to what elements are present.

What is a star's emission spectrum?

The emission spectrum of a star is the spectrum of frequencies for emitted electromagnetic radiation during the transition of an atom's electrons from a high-energy state to a low-energy state. The emission spectrum can differ depending on the temperature and composition of the star.

What can a star's spectrum tell us?

scientists can tell the stars composition and temperature from its spectrum. Hope tht helps :]


Can you describe an astronomical spectrum?

'Astronomical spectrum' is not a specific term. I suspect you are thinking of the emission spectrum of a star, which can tell us a great deal about the composition of the star. Light and other radiations from the object are spread out into constituent wavelengths and dark lines appear across the spectrum at certain specific wavelengths which are characteristic of elements present.

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.


How is the electromagnetic spectrum useful?

Visible light, which lets humans and other animals see, is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. RF (radio frequency) waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. RF transmissions carry radio and television broadcasts. They have the lowest frequency. Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. X-Rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and have the highest frequency..


When you stand in the sun which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is NOT striking you?

Which part of the solar electromagnetic spectrum has the maximum intensity?

The visible light region of the solar electromagnetic spectrum has the maximum intensity. This is the range of wavelengths that our eyes are sensitive to, making it the most prominent part of the spectrum for us.


What statement is true about a star with a greater shift in its spectrum than another star?

The star with the greater shift moves towards us, or away from us, faster.
