What else can I help you with?
What affects the luminosity of a star?
The total amount of light that the star radiates each second.
When light from a star passes though the star's outer gases what happens to some of the light?
Some of the light gets absorbed by the gases, causing them to heat up and emit light themselves. This creates an absorption spectrum with dark lines at specific wavelengths corresponding to the elements present in the star's atmosphere.
What kind of spectrum is a solar spectrum?
the answer to this question is when you use the power around you and it comes in as one so basically that is why it is called solar power
What are some poems about the shooting star?
You are a shooting star in the midnight sky.The glimmer of the whole sky, but only for a moment.You dream, you think, you wait for the right time, then you,a single star go into the night sky for the world to see.As you travel across the sky, you leave the hint of your presence behind.You are the shooting star in the eye of the world.From: http://www.netpoets.com/poems/friends/0148001.htm
What star shaped structure radiates from each centriole during metaphase?
During metaphase, the star-shaped structure that radiates from each centriole is called the mitotic spindle. This structure is composed of microtubules and is responsible for organizing and separating the chromosomes during cell division. The spindle fibers extend from the centrosomes (which are formed by the centrioles) and attach to the kinetochores of the chromosomes, ensuring proper alignment and segregation.
What does some of the light that radiates from a star do?
Some of the light that radiates from a star travels through space, interacting with objects or being absorbed. Some of it reaches planets, where it can warm surfaces, support photosynthesis, or allow us to see the world around us.
What do stars do?
A star generates light and heat by nuclear fusion and radiates it away via elctromagnetic radiation.
How does Sirius receive it's light?
Sirius does not receive or reflect light, it transmits or radiates light. Sirius is a Star and thus similar to our Sun and thus converts Hydrogen into light by nuclear fusion.
What affects the luminosity of a star?
The total amount of light that the star radiates each second.
How does a star keep shining?
A star shines due to nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. This energy radiates outwards, providing the star with heat and light. This process can last for billions of years until the star exhausts its nuclear fuel.
Earths nearest star radiates what type of energy?
Radiant and gravitational Energy.
The layer of the sun that radiates most of the light that reaches earth is called the?
The Photosphere is the layer of the sun or any star that radiates light. This layer is extended into the Sun's surface until its plasma shows opacity, and reaches the equivalent of an optical depth of two-thirds. The Photosphere is the deepest part of a star that has photon transparency depending on wavelength.
Why the sun a star but the moon is not?
A star is an object that radiates its own heat and light. A typical star is a superheated ball of hydrogen and helium that releases energy through nuclear fusion. The moon is much smaller and less massive than any star and is mostly made of rock. It does not produce its own light, but simply reflects light from the sun.
Can a star reflect the sun's light?
Stars are themselves celestial bodies that emit light by atomic fusion and fission and is not a dead planet to reflect our sun's light.
How does the body give off radiation?
The body does not normally 'give off' radiation. The word, "Radiation" is usually taken to mean "Nuclear Radiation", which the body does not normally do, However . . . the body can 'radiate' heat, for instance. You see, 'radiation' means going away from a center along an infinite number of 'radiuses'. The Sun radiates heat, light, gamma rays, and so forth. (Yes, 'Ray' is a word also taken from 'Radius" (Ray-dius) Your flashlight radiates light and a bit of heat. A star which has gone 'nova' radiates light, heat, gamma rays, cosmic rays, X-rays and so on.
What are 3 physical features that change during the life of a star?
Within the lifetime of a star, its colour, its size, and the amount of heat it radiates will all change.
When light from a star passes though the star's outer gases what happens to some of the light?
Some of the light gets absorbed by the gases, causing them to heat up and emit light themselves. This creates an absorption spectrum with dark lines at specific wavelengths corresponding to the elements present in the star's atmosphere.
