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