Goal: To understand the HR diagram
 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.

PROPERTIE S OF STARS There are many different types of stars in the Universe… our star… The SUN; is a very average staraverage star What Do we Know about Stars? Star Temperature and Color Star Mass from Binary Stars Star Brightness Temperatures A stars temperature is determined by its color Cool_____Medium____ _ Hot _____ Many stars orbit each other= BINARY STARS We can find the mass of these stars by the size their orbits, also the small star blocks light from the big star, that tells us their size as well. Binary Stars Apparent Magnitude Absolute Magnitude Wh at the star looks like from Earth… based on distance from earth The actual brightness of the star from 32.6 light years away…. Star Distance

Blue=hottest Red=coolest Yellow= medium GEOSCIENCE WARMUPS Agenda: 1.WarmUp 2.COTD 3.Start on Star Poster 4.Star Movie Agenda: 1.WarmUp 2.COTD 3.Start on Star Poster 4.Star Movie Goal: I will be able to list the different colors of stars and their temps
