Astronomy Briefly explain what evidence we can use to learn about the lives of stars even though their lives are far longer than human lives. Why do HR diagrams look different for star clusters of different ages? How do we use the diagram to determine the age of the cluster? How can we estimate how much longer the lifetime of a low-mass star is than the lifetime of a high-mass star? How do we use parallax to measure the distance to stars? Explain the inverse square law for light. If we know the distance to a star, how do we find its luminosity? If we know the luminosity of a star, how do we find the distance? What are apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude? How do they relate to apparent brightness and luminosity? What is meant by spectral type? What spectral type is the hottest? Which is the coolest? What is meant by luminosity class? What are the three basic types of binary stars?

Using the GUFSA Template. Round off your final answer to the nearest hundredths. As we already know, rockets travel at very high speeds. How much time will it take a rocket (in seconds) to reach the moon if the moon is 238,900 miles away from the Earth, and the rocket is travelling 1,800,000 centimeters per minute? (express your answer in meters per second)

Explain what is meant by the distance ladder in astronomy. Describe briefly how each “rung” of the distance ladder is calibrated so that a reliable measure of distance can be obtained using each of the methods. State clearly the range of distances that can be measured by each method that makes up the distance ladder.
1) We believe that the big bang occurred 13.8 billion years ago. Give 3 reasons why scientists believe the universe is this old.
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the amount of energy in the universe is constant. In your initial post to the discussion, respond to the following prompts: What do you think would happen if energy were not conserved? Think of (and share) two scenarios in which our lives would be drastically altered if this law of conservation was not in place. At least one of your scenarios should be at the molecular level. Would the implications be positive? Negative? Explain.
Number 1 how do we figure out
1. Which of these is true about the Big Bang model? a. The singularity is an established, well-defined part of the model. b. Cosmic expansion stopped at some point in time. c. Part of its proof is the amounts of H and He we have in the universe today. d. The Big Bang was a big explosion that threw matter into many different directions
Homework Statement The solar system is 25,000 light years from the center of our Milky Way galaxy. One light year is the distance light travels in one year at a speed of 3.0*10^8 m/s. Astronomers have determined that the solar system is orbiting the center of the galaxy at a speed of 230 km/s. A)Assuming the orbit is circular, what is the period of the solar system's orbit? Give your answer in years. B) Our solar system was formed roughly 5 billion years ago. How many orbits has it completed? c) The gravitational force on the solar system is the net force due to all the matter inside our orbit. Most of that matter is concentrated near the center of the galaxy. Assume that the matter has a spherical distribution, like a giant star. What is the approximate mass of the galactic center? D)Assume that the sun is a typical star with a typical mass. If galactic matter is made up of stars, approximately how many stars are in the center of the galaxy?
