Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 26EAP
Does It Make Sense?
Decide whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly; not all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer.
26. If a distant galaxy has a substantial redshift (as viewed from Earth), then anyone living in that galaxy would see a substantial redshift in a spectrum of the Milky Way Galaxy.

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?
What is a solar sail? and how does solar sailing work? How does a solar sail control it'd direction? How fast can it go? What is a solar sail made of, how big it has to be? What are the advantages? How expansive is it? Why do we want solar sails and where would they take us? What is the future of solar sailing and are there any existing missions? How can you relate solar sails with solar panels? How are they both like and unlike?

1. Why is Big Bang the most reliable theory on the formation of the universe? Give its evidences and explain them briefly on how you understood them.
2. What is fundamental or elementary particles? Where did they come from?
3. Why did atoms not yet formed during the early times in the big bang timeline? How did the subatomic particles formed? What composed them?
3. Are you convince that their are much basic part than the subatomic particles? Defend your answers.
4. What are stars? What make them up? Why is that the smaller stars live longer than the massive and giant stars?
