Describe the three main lifecycles of stars and explain that the determining factor in which cycle a star follows is its mass.
Describe the three main lifecycles of stars and explain that the determining factor in which cycle a star follows is its mass.
- Protostar, main sequence, white dwarf; The determining factor in which cycle a star follows is its size.
- Protostar, main sequence, red giant; The determining factor in which cycle a star follows is its mass. (correct)
- Protostar, main sequence, red giant; The determining factor in which cycle a star follows is its temperature.
- Protostar, red giant, supernova; The determining factor in which cycle a star follows is its brightness.
Explain how we can determine the distance to stars using parallax, 'standard candles' and red shift.
Explain how we can determine the distance to stars using parallax, 'standard candles' and red shift.
- Parallax measures the change in wavelength of light from a star, 'standard candles' use the brightness of certain types of stars as a reference, and red shift measures the apparent shift in a star's position.
