There is a Doppler shift which results from the relative motion of the star in question, either toward or away from us as we observe it.

Which type of spectrum do most stars have?

Most stars have absorption spectra. In other words, stars possess thin outer layers that allow light to pass through. These layers produce what are called absorption lines. This means the light from the sun and stars are absorption spectra.

Where is shift solenoid on a 2002 Kia Spectra located?

The shift solenoid on a 2002 Kia Spectra is typically located inside the transmission housing. It is part of the transmission control system and is responsible for regulating the flow of transmission fluid to engage the appropriate gear. Accessing and replacing the shift solenoid may require removing the transmission pan and possibly other components, depending on the specific design of the transmission in the Kia Spectra.


How do different scientists spectra to figure out the composition of a star's outer layer?

The color of the light radiated by the spectra can show the internal composition as well as the gases burning on the outer layer. Red stars are colder and blue stars are hotter.
