universe
Across
- 2. nuclear fusion release large amounts of heat and light
- 4. measures how bright a star appears from Earth
- 8. gases burns out and star skrinks
- 11. ? depends on its surface temperature
- 12. Large area containing everything that has ever existed
- 13. A system that contains large numbers of stars
- 14. they are 8 times the mass of the sun
- 15. The force of gravity pulls and balances the star to become a consistent size
- 16. a neutron star collapses further, its gravity and density become so strong that nothing can escape it
- 17. Consists of a star and all the objects orbiting it
- 19. If a red giant has a large enough mass, it has a different end
Down
- 1. a scatter graph of stars showing relationship between the stars' absolute magnitudes vs surface temp and colour
- 3. the remains of a supernova are extremely dense which results in a solid core
- 4. measure how bright a star is as if all stars are the same distance
- 5. the amount of helium decreases, and the outer regions of the red giant fade away
- 6. matter making up a star is hurled into space along with huge amounts of energy
- 7. A mass of hydrogen and helium gas that shines brightly
- 9. a theory that describes how the universe developed from a small, infinitely dense point called a singularity into the massively expanded space it is today
- 10. used to measure the distance of stars from the Earth
- 17. measures distance of stars from earth
- 18. forces inside the star reach a new hydrostatic equilibrium and the star turns into a ?
