Stellar Evolution

Gbogbo ọrọ náà

Stars are not all the same colour, and the difference is not decoration. A star's colour is a direct reading of how hot its surface is, which makes the night sky a temperature map that anybody can learn to read.

This lesson covers how stars are classified by colour, what that colour tells you about surface temperature, and the life story of a star like our Sun: from a cloud of gas and dust to a stable main sequence star, then a red giant, and finally a white dwarf. Expect sequencing and explanation questions on this topic in your Edexcel papers.

Ebumnobi

  1. Understand how stars can be classified according to their colour
  2. Know that a star's colour is related to its surface temperature
  3. Describe the evolution of stars of similar mass to the Sun through the following stages: nebula, star (main sequence), red giant, white dwarf

Look carefully at the winter sky and the stars are not all white. Betelgeuse in Orion is distinctly orange-red, while Rigel in the same constellation is a cold-looking blue-white. Those two colours are telling you something precise about the surfaces of two objects that are hundreds of light-years away, and neither star has ever been visited.
