Transports energy from the radiative zone to the surface of the sun. Sunspot Corona Photosphere Convective zone
4
The only layer of the sun that reflects visible light. Sunspot Corona Photosphere Solar flare
5

18
The point at the center of a black hole Accretion disk Singularity Event horizon Escape velocity
19
singularity
20
____________ are caused by solar winds interacting with the Earth’s magnetosphere at the poles. Auroras Northern lights Southern lights All of the above None of the above
21
All of the above
22
The sun generates huge amount of energy through nuclear ________. Fission Fusion
23
fusion
24
In the sun’s core __________ collide with other ___________ to produce helium atoms. Protons Electrons Neutrons
25
protons
26
Suppose a star that is 500 light years away from Earth exploded 500 years ago. When will see the explosion? 500 years ago 500 years from now today
28
Of the following stars, the youngest are Main sequence stars White dwarfs Black dwarfs Red giants
29
Main sequence stars
30
White dwarfs stars Form from red giants Fuse hydrogen to carbon Form from planetary nebulas Form supernovas
31
Form from planetary nebulas
32
Nearly 90% of all stars are in what point of their life cycle? Nebulas Protostars Main sequence stars White dwarfs
33
Main sequence stars
34
The sun is An unusually hot star A very cool star A typical star None of the above
35
A typical star
36
The surface temperature of a star can be estimated based on the star’s Size Color Age Mass
37
color
38
All stars Reflect light from the sun Appear to wander off their star paths Produce their own light All of the above None of the above
39
Produce their own light
40
The solar wind pushes and shapes the Earth’s ____________. Magnetic Poles Magnetosphere Atmosphere Weather patterns
41
Magnetosphere
42
The corona is hotter than the ___________ of the sun. Core Radiative zone Convective zone Photosphere (surface)
44
The sun is a medium sized star but looks very bright to us because it is Very luminous Very hot Father away from us than other stars. Closest to us
46
A red star is hotter than a blue star A white star All other stars No other stars
48
Most of the stars in the Milky Way will end their lives as Blackholes Neutron stars Black dwarfs Main sequence stars
49
Black dwarfs
50
A star is born when Gas and dust collapse inward Nuclear fusion starts in the core Fusion of the hydrogen slows down The core becomes carbon and oxygen
51
Nuclear fusion starts in the core
52
Cooler stars glow with light that is less intense at Shorter wavelengths (toward the red end of the spectrum) Shorter wavelengths (toward the blue end of the spectrum) Longer wavelengths (toward the red end of the spectrum) Longer wavelengths (toward the blue end of the spectrum)
53
Longer wavelengths (toward the red end of the spectrum)
54
Stars radiate (give off) Heat Electromagnetic waves Light All of the above None of the above
55
All of the above
56
Galaxies contain interstellar matter. What is interstellar matter? Gas and dust that may form new galaxies. Gas and dust that may form new stars Matter that may form new universes Matter that may form new constellations
57
Gas and dust that may form new stars
