Stars Part 2 By: Damian Draayers And Pasha Sekhon
You Will Learn… • Color and temperature • Size • Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram • Motion • Arc second • Famous Stars • Spectroscopes
Color and Temperature • Lots of different temperatures • Red stars are coldest, 3000°C • Yellow stars are moderate, 6000°C (Sun) • Blue stars are the hottest, 20 000°C to 35 000°C
Sizes • Many different sizes • The largest is a supergiant • Red giants are the next smallest • White dwarves are very small but Hot • Red dwarves are small but cool.
Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram • This diagram shows the differences between the different types of stars.
Motion • Motion can be measured in arc seconds. • In a year, a star moves 0.1 arc seconds. • In 1 year a star has moved 0.000028° • 1 arc second is 1/60th of 1°
Motion (cont.) • In 1000 years, a star has moved 100 arc seconds. • Over a period of 500 000 years
Famous Stars • Arcturusis a red giant and it is the brightest star on the northern side of earth. • Antares is a group of super giants with a variety of different colors.
Spectroscope • Created in 1814 • Made by Dr. Fraunhofer a German optician. • It splits light by refraction. • An optician studies the human eye and helps you see better.

Questions • 1. What is the average temperature of a blue star? • 2. Who invented the spectroscope? • 3. How many scientists invented the Hertszprung- russelldiagram? • 4. How does a spectroscope work? • 5. Name the two dwarf stars and which is hotter than which?
Answers • 20 000 to 35 000 C. • Dr. Fraunhofer Invented the spectroscope. • 2 Scientists invented the diagram. • It uses light and refracts it. • There is a red dwarf star and a white dwarf star and a white dwarf is hotter than a red dwarf.
