Star Life Cycle You need to investigate the life cycle of stars and other objects in the universe. Use the internet and classroom textbooks for research! You may work alone or with a partner and turn in one assignment. You may type your answers directly within this document or in PowerPoint. Turn your assignment into the _DragNDrop folder when finished. 1. Give a short definition for the following terms using your own words. (1 pt. each) a. b. c. d. Black hole Binary Star Supernova Neutron Star e. f. g. h. Nebula White Dwarf Red Giant Main Sequence Star 2. Find a diagram on the internet showing the life cycle of a star and paste it in your document. (2 pts) 3. Find a “Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram” and paste it in your document. (2pts) 4. Using the diagrams above Answer the following questions. (1 pt each) a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. l. How does our sun compare in size and temp. to other stars? What phase in the life cycle of a star is our sun in right now? What is the next phase of our sun’s life cycle? How long will it be before our sun becomes this type of star? How long (in years) is the typical lifetime of a star? Where are the blue stars in the HR diagram? Where are the red stars in the HR diagram? Where are the big stars in the HR diagram? Where are the little stars in the Hr diagram? Where are really hot stars? Where are cooler stars? The brightness (luminosity) of stars depends on distance from earth, __________and___________. 25 points Total
