Final Jeopardy

$100 Question from Mr. Golden Sun

List the 4 layers of the Sun from innermost to outermost.

$100 Answer from Mr. Golden Sun

Core, Photosphere, Chromosphere, Corona

$200 Question from Mr. Golden Sun

How does solar wind affect Earth?

$200 Answer from Mr. Golden Sun

The wind comes from the corona and is full of ions and is deflected by Earth’s magnetic field/trapped in

Van Allen belts and react with gasesgive off light(aurora).

$300 Question from Mr. Golden Sun

What causes sunspots to form?

$300 Answer from Mr. Golden Sun

They are where the magnetic field penetrates the photosphere.

$400 Question from Mr. Golden Sun

Compare solar flares with prominences.

$400 Answer from Mr. Golden Sun

Solar flares are violent eruptions of particles/radiation while prominences are arcs of gas ejected from the

chromospheres/condenses in corona and comes back to surface.

$500 Question from Mr. Golden Sun

How does the Sun create energy for solar activity? Explain

$500 Answer from Mr. Golden Sun

Fusion: lightweight nuclei into heavier H with He

$100 Question from Loco-Motion

This is when two stars are gravitationally bound and orbit a common center of mass?

$100 Answer from Loco-Motion

Binary stars

$200 Question from Loco-Motion

Arrange the following from smallest to largest: parsec, astronomical unit,

kilometer, light-year.

$200 Answer from Loco-Motion

Smallest Kilometer, AU, Light-year, Parsec <--Largest

$300 Question from Loco-Motion

Explain blue shift and red shift in regards to stars. Be sure to include

why we associate colors with the shift!

$300 Answer from Loco-MotionBlue towards Red away; wavelength relates to color wavelength in visible spectrum.

$400 Question from Loco-Motion

Why might a star have the same absolute magnitude but different apparent magnitudes?

$400 Answer from Loco-Motion

Appears to be same brightness but different distances.

$500 Question from Loco-Motion

Defend or refute this statement & explain: As the distance between the star and the Earth[observer] increases, the parallax

decreases.

$500 Answer from Loco-MotionTrue because the angle between the star and the

Earth at two different positions during orbit become smaller.

$100 Question from H-R Diagram

What three characteristics of stars does the H-R diagram show?

$100 Answer from H-R Diagram

Color, temperature, and luminosity

$200 Question from H-R Diagram

90% of stars occupy this region in the HR diagram?

$200 Answer from H-R Diagram

Main sequence stars

$300 Question from H-R Diagram

Illustrate on the board where the Sun would fall on the HR diagram?

$300 Answer from H-R Diagram

Roughly the center of main sequence

$400 Question from H-R Diagram

What are the hottest and most dim stars called?

$400 Answer from H-R Diagram

White dwarfs

$500 Question from H-R Diagram

Where would a black hole would go on the H-R diagram?

$500 Answer from H-R DiagramOff the chart to the right (WAY over to the right) and

underneath (WAY under).

$100 Question from Lifecycle

Where all stars form?

$100 Answer from Lifecycle

Nebula

$200 Question from Lifecycle

Whether or not a star will eventually form a white dwarf or a supernova depends on this?

$200 Answer from Lifecycle

Mass

$300 Question from Lifecycle

After an average sized star, a star will become this?

$300 Answer from Lifecycle

Red Giant

$400 Question from Lifecycle

Why do stars move through stages during their life cycle?

$400 Answer from Lifecycle

When hydrogen in core is gone, cannot undergo fusion

$500 Question from Lifecycle

Explain how the lifetime of stars is determined by their mass?

$500 Answer from Lifecycle

High mass stars will burn fuel more quickly versus low mass which burn slowly.

Final JeopardyExplain how the universe wouldbe different if massive stars did not explode at the end of their

lives.

Final Jeopardy AnswerHeavy elements would not

be dispersed, and they would notbe available for incorporation

into later generations of stars or for the formation of planets in

solar systems.

Tools of Astronomy$100

What is the main difference between a refracting and a

reflecting telescope?

Tools of Astronomy $100

Refracting=lensesReflecting=mirrors

Tools of Astronomy $200

What is the relationship between wavelength and

frequency?

Tools of Astronomy $200

Inversely proportional

Tools of Astronomy $300
