Characteristics of Stars. Distances To The Stars Stars are separated by vast distances. Astronomers use units called light years to measure the distance.

Properties of The Stars - Brightness

 Stars can be classified in three ways:  Size – How massive the star is  Temperature – A stars color reveals its temperature. ▪ Red stars have a cooler.

Characteristics of Stars  Parallax is the method used by astronomers to study the distance to relatively nearby stars.  Parallax is the apparent.
