Stellar Spectra

1) Absorbtion Spectra

2) More likely to happen in close objects because when you are closer to things they appear to move more then objects that are far away

3) Time and Brightness

4) The Core

5) Magnitude is based on distance and how bright a star is and intensity is how intense the light is that is given off

Annie Cannon

Here are some of my dreams at this point in my life. After high school I would like to go to UNI, and be an athletic trainer or a physical therapist. When I am done with college I would like to move to California for a year or so. After California I would like to come back home to Iowa and settle down and have a family. When all my kids are in college I would like to travel around different countries with my husband and just explore the world.

Electromagnetic Radiation

Life would be alot different without Radiation. For example we might not be able to listen to the radio or t.v. because there would be no radio waves and there wouldn't be such things as cell phones because you wouldn't be able to hear each other because of the lack of radio waves, you wouldn't even be able to cook with a microwave.

What is up with Mercury?

A) Rotates 3 times in 2 of its years

B) The intensity of the radio wave decreased as it went from Earth to Mercury

C)It means Mercury was rotating

What is it?

I think it was asteroid because:
* Scientist ever discovered debris from a UFO.
* There are such things as fire balls which are meteorite that do explode.
* An Asteroid is very large so it could have created the damage it did.

Scaling the Solar System

A) The earth would be about 3 feet away and Venus would be about 2 feet away and I believe this because its the same ratio from Ma's room to the nurses office as it is from the Sun to Pluto.

B) If I was 3.4 years old on Venus I would be about 2.1 years old on earth. There are more days in Earth years then in Venus years.

C)I would weigh about 181.4 pounds on Venus and you would be the heaviest on Jupiter weighing about 472.8 pounds. Your weight changes when you go to other planets because the gravity changes.
