Spectroscopy shows what elements are present in the star, it's chemical
composition. The different elements give off different energy signatures through radiation, which relate to the wavelength and therefore colour.
From the spectrum of a star, you can determine its temperature, composition, density, and motion. By analyzing the absorption or emission lines in the spectrum, astronomers can identify the elements present in the star and understand its evolutionary stage. This information helps astronomers study the star's properties and formation history.
Observation of the shift of a star's spectrum toward red indicates it is moving away from us (redshift), while blue indicates it's moving closer (blueshift). By studying this shift in the star's spectrum, we can determine its velocity and distance from Earth, providing valuable information about its motion and location in space.
scientists can tell the stars composition and temperature from its spectrum. Hope tht helps :]
A correct use of a star's emission spectrum would involve analyzing the patterns of spectral lines produced by elements within the star's atmosphere. By comparing these lines to known atomic transitions, scientists can determine the chemical composition and physical properties of the star, such as temperature and density. This information helps astronomers classify stars based on their spectral type and understand their evolutionary stage.
By observing far away stars in our galaxy through a spectroscope, we are able to see the spectrum that appears from the substances in these stars. Each element has a unique spectrum when light is shone through it, so we are able to determine what elements make up certain stars.
Mainly the temperature, and what elements are in the star's outer layers. Also, using the redshift or blueshift, how fast the star is moving away from us or towards us. For very far-away stars, this can be used to calculate its distance.

What elements the star is made of.
You can get a rough idea of a star's temperature by its color. A detailed analysis of the spectrum can give additional information.
The chemical composition of the star.
The chemical composition of the star atmosphere.
What makes up the star or element.

The color of a star indicates its temperature. Blue stars are hotter, while red stars are cooler. This is because hotter stars emit more energy in the blue part of the spectrum, while cooler stars emit more energy in the red part of the spectrum.
The emission spectrum of each element has characteristic lines for each element. Analyzing the spectrum of a star, you can figure out what elements are present, and also get an estimate on how much there is of each element. For more information, check the Wikipedia article on "emission spectrum".
star produce radiation and it is usually gamma which is deadly and it affects the color of the star
