    The article discusses the basic concepts of stars and some basic facts of astronomy the importance of the article that it shows how by using the spectroscopy technique we can determine the interaction between matter and radiated energy and discover that some objects give off and adsorb different spectrum of light. The article makes you understand the different stages of the lifecycle of the sun. Astronomers study light which comes from distant objects to determine its composition‚ temperature‚

The Type I supernova occurs in binary pairs‚ lacks the hydrogen in its spectra‚ and originates from a white dwarf‚ (stars that are already dead)‚ occurring when the gas of a nearby star accumulates‚ compressing the star until the reaction is triggered (Thomp). While a star may die without becoming a supernova‚ it is the explosive properties of the death that

    Process and importance of fusion in stellar evolution. Huge clouds of hydrogen atoms and gravity cause the atoms to be attracted to each other creating them to slowly move towards the centre of mass.The atoms then continue condensing until something happens.All of the atoms are trying to get to the centre of mass. While this is happening the temperature becomes 10 million Kelvin and at that point there is enough temperature and enough pressure to overcome the coulomb forces‚ bringing the two protons

    glowing protostar; this stage lasts for roughly 50 million years. If there is enough material in the protostar‚ the gravitational collapse and the heating continue. If there is not enough material in the protostar‚ one possible outcome is a brown dwarf (a large‚ not-very-luminous celestial body having a mass between 1028 kg and 84 x 1028 kg). A Newborn Star: When a temperature of about 27‚000‚000°F is reached‚ nuclear fusion begins. This is the nuclear reaction in which hydrogen atoms are converted

A small-to-medium-sized star like the sun then becomes unstable and ejects its outer layer of dust and gas as a planetary nebula * This leaves behind a hot‚ dense solid core- a WHITE DWARF which just cools down and eventually fades away (That`s going to be really sad). * Big stars ‚however‚ form red supergiants- they start to glow brightly again as they undergo more fusion and expand and contract several times‚ forming heavier
