Across
- 4. a shell of gas at the end of a stars life-the outer layers are ejected into space
- 6. theory that states all matter and energy in the universe exploded outward from a single point called a singularity
- 10. how bright a star actually is
- 12. means that something is moving away from an observer
- 14. areas of the photosphere that are cooler, they interact with the suns magnetic field and are present when solar flares occur
- 15. the "surface" of our sun that we can see
- 16. what is left of the core of a star after a super nova-spins rapidly
- 17. when the energy given off by fusion is balanced by gravity-meaning the star will live and not change for millions of years
- 19. states that al galaxies are moving away from each other- the further away that faster they move
- 24. the core runs out of fuel and must start burning fuel in the atmosphere of the star-causing the star to expand and cool
- 25. the variable that changes in response to the independent variable
- 27. means that something is moving closer to an observer
- 28. a transfer of heat or energy between objects in contact with one another
- 29. a transfer of heat or energy within a fluid
- 30. an explanation of a high mass star as it runs out of fuel
- 32. evidence in support of the big bang left over radiation from when the big bang occured
Down
- 1. cloud of dust and gas that forms a star
- 2. an apperent shift in the frequency of a wave as a source moves closer to or away from an observer
- 3. the area of the interior of our sun that helps bring heat out of the core to the surface
- 5. upper part of the suns atmosphere, where solar winds occur
- 7. the variable that is purposly changed in an experament
- 8. materials that transfer energy such as heat or electricity easily
- 9. in an experament the standard that is used to compare test results
- 11. do not allow electricity or heat to flow through them easily
- 13. an explotion of the suns corona which emits a large stream of high energy
- 18. the process that occurs within the core of a star to create new elements when combined with other elements
- 20. the center of a star, or our sun-where fusion occurs
- 21. core of star left behind after a planetary nebula, small and hot
- 22. what is left of the core of a star after a supernova-it is extremly dense, with an intense pull of gravity
- 23. a term referring to the energy output of a star- and how bright it is
- 26. how bright a star apears
- 31. a transfer of heat or energy through space
