  13. Our Sun and Stars By Emma Palmer

  14. Our Sun Our sun has layers just like Earth On the inside there is the core. Outside of the core there is the photosphere. Then there is the chromosphere. On the very outside there is the corona. Our sun is a middle aged star. In the 1700’s people thought that the earth was the center of our solar system. Over time people learned that the sun was at the center of the solar system.

  15. The Stars in Our Solar System The diagram shows how we know the age of stars by their color. New born star young star middle aged star oldest star 20,000 Celsius 10, 000 Celsius 5,000 Celsius 3,000 Celsius

  16. Life and Death of Stars 1- The nebula is a swirling 2-Gravity forces dust and 3- The newly born star is cool mass of dust and gas. gasses of the nebula press together. at 3,ooo Celsius. 4-The matter continues to 5- The star’s color changes as it gets 6- The star will change its color press to get hotter. hotter. and temperature over time. 7- It will use it’s last supply of 8- the core gets larger 9-The star gets so tight that it explodes hydrogen. while the outside gets into a nova, supernova or a mega-nova. smaller.
