What observational measurement is required to determine the distance to a Galaxy using Hubble's Law? - ANSWER-Redshift What were the conditions of the early universe? - ANSWER-Hot and very dense True or False: If Light traveled for 5 billion years, then the distance between the two galaxies must have been less than 5 billion light years when the light began its journey because the distances between galaxies are always increasing in the expanding universe - ANSWER-True If our universe is...

Hydrostatic Equilibrium The current distinguishing criterion between dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies Evolution of stars of different mass -Star formation produces a wide variety of stars -Only a few high-mass stars (O, B Type) are produced -The lowest mass stars (eg.M type) are the most common. -If a "star" forms with a mass less than about 1/10 the mass of the Sun, it will not have enough pressure in its core to ignite nuclear fusion. •The lower limit to the mass of a...

Astronomy Unit 6 Exam - Questions & Answers How can a white dwarf create a nova? A white dwarf that is part of a binary system can undergo repeated novas by consuming material from a main-sequence companion star. Describe the steps that the sun will follow for its evolution. Be able to draw its path on an H-R diagram. Nebula, Protostar, Main Sequence, Red giant, White Dwarf, Black Dwarf.

IXL Determine the main idea of a passage questions and answers 100% correct While excavating a tunnel under Mexico's Naica Mountain, silver miners were stunned to discover a cavern full of luminous, elongated underground crystals. Composed of the mineral gypsum, some of the crystals extended as far as thirty-six feet into the air. What accounted for these amazing mineral structures? Millions of years ago, volcanic eruptions released a large amount of mineral-rich water into the cave, now known...
