What is one reason that the force of gravity on Earth is important?

It helps keep our atmosphere from drifting away into space

It causes objects to repel each other

It makes the Earth spin on its axis

What happens when atoms come together really closely under extremely high temperatures and intense pressure?

They become less hot and tightly packed

A star that has expanded and become brighter after running out of hydrogen fuel.

A star that has just formed and is still fusing hydrogen

A star that has exhausted all its fuel and is about to collapse.

A star that has undergone fusion of heavier elements.

What happens during a supernova explosion?

The star releases an enormous amount of energy in a violent explosion.

The star collapses and becomes a black hole.

The star expands and becomes a red giant.

The star undergoes fusion of heavier elements.

Why is our Sun not expected to undergo a supernova?

It is does not have enough mass to go supernova.

It lacks the necessary elements for fusion to occur.

It has too much mass to explode.

Its gravity is not strong enough to overcome the outward push from fusion.

What is absolute brightness?

The brightness of a star that doesn't depend on its distance from Earth.

The brightness of a star as seen from Earth.

The brightness of a star relative to other stars in its vicinity.

The brightness of a star measured using a special instrument.

Why do scientists use absolute brightness to compare stars?

To assess how bright stars would look if they were at the same distance from Earth.

To calculate their distance from Earth.

To understand their surface temperature.

What determines the absolute brightness of a star?

Its surface temperature and color

What are some factors that can impact the apparent brightness of stars?

Actual brightness, distance from Earth, and the amount of light that is blocked or scattered by such things as dust, clouds, and Earth’s atmosphere

Actual brightness, age, and size

Distance from Earth, size, and temperature

Actual brightness, temperature, and light reflection

How does the distance between a star and Earth impact its apparent brightness?

Closer stars appear brighter, regardless of their absolute brightness.

It has no effect on the apparent brightness.

Farther stars appear brighter, regardless of their absolute brightness.

The distance affects the color of the star, not its brightness.

What causes day and night on Earth?

Earth's revolution around the Sun

Earth's tilt relative to the Sun

What are shadows created by?

Objects blocking a source of light

Why are shadows caused by the sun longer in the morning?

The sun is lower on the horizon

The sun is higher on the horizon
