Nuclear Fusion
-Core temp of a star is 15 million degrees Celsius,
-Nuclear fusion happens when hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium atoms producing an enormous amount of energy then rushes out of a star counteracting gravitational forces caused prostar to from
-New stars are burned inside the nebula
-Energy at the core and rises to surface then radiated away at the photosphere
-Radiation causes surrounding stars to glow or shine
-The star will eventually stabilizes at the particular size
-the more massive the star the faster its rate of fusion
The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram
-The mass of a star determines its brightness, color, size and the life span
-Astronomers Ejinar Hertzsprung and Henry Norris Russell made up a diagram called Hertzsprung-Russell
-the diagram plots absolute magnitude against star surface temp
-The diagram offered clues to the evolution of stars
- The H-R diagram can be used to describe evolution of stars
