In position A, what season is the Northern Hemisphere having?
Summer because the Northern Hemisphere is facing the sun.
How much time does it take for the Earth to travel from position A to position C?
Half a year.
At which position will the Northern Hemisphere have the least number of daylight hours?
Position C in winter because the Earth is tilted away from the sun.
At which positions will the Northern Hemisphere have days and nights of equal lenght?
D and B
12/8/11
1. new moon, 2. waxing crescent, 3. 1st quarter, 4. waxing gibbous, 5. full, 6. waning gibbous, 7. last quarter, 8. waning gibbous

What is the difference between a stellar nebulae and a planetary nebulae?
A stellar nebulae is the beginning life process of a star. A planetary nebulae is near the end of an average star's life before it turns into a white dwarf.
What factor determines the path a star will take in its life cycle?
Mass.

1. Which Star is dimmer and warmer than Achernar?
Sirius B.
2. Which star is brighter and cooler than Procyon B?
Sun.

1.9.12
How are galaxy classified?
By their shape (elliptical, spiral, irregular)
Where is our solar system located in our galaxy?
The outer edge of our galaxy.
1.10.12
What is the concept of Red Shifting?
When light from an object increases in wave length. Helps support Big Bang theory and supports the universe is still expanding when Galaxies are moving away from us.
1.12.12
What do scientists use the light from stars for?
They use them to see the star's chemical composition and it's temperature.
What do scientists use radio waves for?
They use them for distance.

1. Which elements are found in Star A?
Helium, and Hydrogen.
2. Which elements are found in Star B?
Helium, Calcium, and Hydrogen.
3. Which elements are found in Star C?
Hydrogen and Sodium.
4. Which star is most likely the coolest? How do you know?
Star C is the most likely the coolest because the lines aren't as dark as Star A and B.
