- Which surface has a higher temperature — the surface of a yellow star or that of a red star?arrow_forwardHydrogen accounts for about 75% by mass of the matter at the surfaces of most stars. However, the absorption lines of hydrogen are strongest (of highest intensity) in the spectra of stars with a surface temperature of about 9000 K. They are weaker in the sun spectrum and are essentially nonexistent in very hot (temperatures above 25,000 K) or rather cool (temperatures below 3500 K) stars. Speculate as to why surface temperature affects the hydrogen absorption lines that we observe.arrow_forwardIs light emitted from the surface of a massive star red-shifted or blue-shifted by gravity?arrow_forward
