Q

what is a planetary nebula

A

it doesn’t explode but its outer area shoots off and it is a ring of gas and debris is left over, they are very pretty

Q

what is a white dwarf

A

after stars run of out nuclear fuel, it is the left over core, very dense and can be very hot

Q

what are the steps of the big bang theory

A

started as a hot dense point (singularity), it expands, it slows down cools and atoms, elements begin to form, solar systems form

Q

what is evidence of the BBT

A

the red shift/expanding and cosmic radiation from it still being in there

A

about the red shift

18
Q

when were the first solar systems

A

4.6 billion years ago

19
Q

what is cosmic background radiation

A

the heat from BB still around in space

20
Q

whta is an emission spectrum and how do scientists use it to study stars
