A star’s color provides information about its temperature and lifespan, which in turn can help us determine if the star might have planets orbiting it that could support life. Below is a table with data for different types of stars. Reflect ...

... 2. If you are in freefall, you are also weightless. Einstein says these are equivalent. So in freefall, the light and the ball also travel in straight lines. 3. Now imagine two people in freefall on Earth, passing a ball back and forth. From their perspective, they pass the ball in a straight line. ...

... The pressure within the helium core is almost totally due to “electron degeneracy”—two electrons cannot be in the same quantum state, so the core cannot contract beyond a certain point. This pressure is almost independent of temperature—when the helium starts fusing, the pressure cannot adjust. Heli ...
