Brightness
• Apparent Magnitude (AKA – Apparent Brightness)
• A star’s brightness as seen from Earth• Closer stars appear brighter than distant stars
![Page 15: Stars & The Electromagnetic Spectrum Notes Test – Thursday, 1/30 Textbook & Online Resources: Chapter 3 – Lesson 4: Characteristics of Stars Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ebf5503460f94bcaab5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Absolute Brightness
• The brightness a star would have if it were a standard distance from Earth.
• How bright the star REALLY is.• Calculated using the star’s apparent
magnitude & distance from earth.

![Page 26: Stars & The Electromagnetic Spectrum Notes Test – Thursday, 1/30 Textbook & Online Resources: Chapter 3 – Lesson 4: Characteristics of Stars Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ebf5503460f94bcaab5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Facts about the Sun
150 million km from Earth It takes about 8 minutes for light from the sun to
reach Earth.About 1 million Earths could fit inside the sun.Sun’s energy = 6 Trillion nuclear bombs each
second
![Page 27: Stars & The Electromagnetic Spectrum Notes Test – Thursday, 1/30 Textbook & Online Resources: Chapter 3 – Lesson 4: Characteristics of Stars Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ebf5503460f94bcaab5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• The star at the center of our solar system is the sun.
• The sun is a medium-sized star• The sun is about 5 billion years old, and has
about another 5 billion years left to burn
![Page 28: Stars & The Electromagnetic Spectrum Notes Test – Thursday, 1/30 Textbook & Online Resources: Chapter 3 – Lesson 4: Characteristics of Stars Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ebf5503460f94bcaab5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Sun’s interior is made up of 3 layers
![Page 29: Stars & The Electromagnetic Spectrum Notes Test – Thursday, 1/30 Textbook & Online Resources: Chapter 3 – Lesson 4: Characteristics of Stars Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ebf5503460f94bcaab5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Core
• Where the sun produces energy by nuclear fusion
• Hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms, which releases energy.
The core is over 15,000,000o C
![Page 30: Stars & The Electromagnetic Spectrum Notes Test – Thursday, 1/30 Textbook & Online Resources: Chapter 3 – Lesson 4: Characteristics of Stars Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ebf5503460f94bcaab5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Radiation Zone• Energy produced in the core moves outward
through the radiation zone.• Moves very slowly because the gas is so dense.
***Takes 100,000 years for energy to move through.
![Page 31: Stars & The Electromagnetic Spectrum Notes Test – Thursday, 1/30 Textbook & Online Resources: Chapter 3 – Lesson 4: Characteristics of Stars Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ebf5503460f94bcaab5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Convection Zone
• Outermost layer• Hot gases rise from the bottom, cool as they
reach the surface, then sink again.• This moves energy to the sun’s surface.
![Page 32: Stars & The Electromagnetic Spectrum Notes Test – Thursday, 1/30 Textbook & Online Resources: Chapter 3 – Lesson 4: Characteristics of Stars Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ebf5503460f94bcaab5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The sun also has an atmosphere that extends into space.
• The Sun’s atmosphere has 3 layers1. Photosphere2. Chromosphere3. Corona

Sunspots
• Areas of gas on the sun’s surface that are cooler than the gasses around them.
• Cooler gasses are less bright, so they make dark spots.

Prominences
• A huge loop of gas that protrudes from the sun’s surface, linking parts of sunspot regions
![Page 37: Stars & The Electromagnetic Spectrum Notes Test – Thursday, 1/30 Textbook & Online Resources: Chapter 3 – Lesson 4: Characteristics of Stars Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ebf5503460f94bcaab5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Solar Flares• An eruption of gas from the sun’s surface that
occurs when the prominences suddenly connect.
