MERCURY IS so dense astronomers believe its has a high concentration of what element?

Astronomers believe Mercury has a high concentration of iron because it is one of the densest planets in our solar system, suggesting a significant amount of heavy elements.


Why do astronomers believe that globular clusters are made of old stars?

Astronomers believe the globular clusters are made of old stars because of the lack of heavy elements. The heavy element is very abundant in stars like our sun, so the theory is the globular cluster must be older and formed in a more primitive universe.


How do we get heavy elements?

Heavy elements were formed in stars, and blown out into space in supernova explosions.


What is similar between chemists and astronomers?

Chemists deal with the table of elements and the universe contains these elements. Astronomers study space and the planets stars and whatever else is in space contains these elements. Chemistry helped the U.S. to be the first to the moon.


What can a stars spectrum tell astronomers about a star?

What elements the star is made of.


Who were the first astronomers in the world?

Many people consider the first astronomers to be the first humans that ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what was really up there. So cavemen were probably the first astronomers.


What are super heavy elements?

Super heavy elements are elements with atomic numbers greater than 104. They are synthetic and do not occur naturally on Earth. These elements are typically produced in laboratories through nuclear reactions involving heavy isotopes.


What planet contains the fewest heavy element?

Jupiter contains the fewest heavy elements. Unlike other planets, Jupiter is a gas planet, and contains mostly light elements.


The interstellar medium is enriched with heavy elements by the remnants of what?

The interstellar medium is enriched with heavy elements by the remnants of supernova explosions. Supernovae are massive stellar explosions that release heavy elements such as carbon, oxygen, and iron into space, enriching the surrounding interstellar medium with these elements.


Does a heavy or light star produce heavier elements?

Heavy stars produce heavier elements through nuclear fusion in their cores. As heavy stars age and undergo supernova explosions, they release these heavier elements into the surrounding space, enriching it with elements beyond hydrogen and helium. Lighter stars are not massive enough to produce heavy elements through fusion.


What are inner planets made of?

Heavy elements.


What is heavy ion?

A heavy ion is the nucleus of a heavy atom. Heavy atoms are those of elements with atomic weights around that of cobalt or greater.
