STARS Chapter 8 Section 1
... What are stars made of? • Stars are made of gas. Hydrogen(H) and helium(He) are the two main elements that make up a star. • What is an element? • Stars also contain small amounts of other elements, such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. Each star is made up of a different mix. • To find out what a ...

... The rotation of the Earth on its axis in an anticlockwise direction is the reason the stars track across the sky. As the axis passes close to Polaris, the Pole Star, this appears to stay in one place and the other stars move around the Pole Star. During the night, a constellation like Leo will rise ...
