Characteristics of Stars

Stars come from huge clouds of gas and dust called nebulae. A star's color indicates its surface temperature - blue stars are hottest, and red stars are coolest. A star's apparent brightness depends on both its actual luminosity and its distance from Earth. In general, more massive stars are hotter on their surfaces.

Characteristics of Stars
- Brightness
- Color
- Temperature
- Size

BRIGHTNESS
BRIGHTNESS
A star’s apparent brightness, is the brightness you see from
Earth.
A star absolute brightness is the brightness the star would
have if all stars were the same distance from the Earth.
COLOR & TEMPERATURE

Star color ranges from red to blue. The color of the stars
indicates its surface temperature.
SIZE

Is the total amount of material in a body.


SIZE

Giant Star
MASS
- mass is the measure of the amount of material
in a body.
MASS
SUMMARY:
Scientist believe that all stars came from a huge cloud of gas and
dust called nebulae.
The color of the star indicates its surface temperature. Blue is
color is the color of the hottest star.
The brightness of a star as observed from the earth relies upon
two variables distance and the actual brightness (absolute
brightness) of the star.
In general the more massive a star is the hotter its surface.
