PHYS 1404 Week 8 | Assignment Help | Central Texas CollegeLesson 8 Lab: The Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) DiagramLesson 8 Lab: The Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) Diagramexamines the properties of stars using a powerful tool called the H-R diagram. One of the best ways to summarize all of these details about how a star or protostar changes with time is to use an H-R diagram. In Lab 3 you will explore the H-R Diagram and learn how the diagram can be used to

Astronomers as of today have discovered

PHYS 1404 Week 7 Quiz | Assignment Help | Central Texas College• Question 1 The Mass of the Sun is 1.989 × 10^30 kg. The speed of light is 3 x 10^8 m/s. Assuming the Sun is 75% hydrogen, how much Energy could be produced if all of the hydrogen is converted into energy? Use Einstein's famous equation E = mc^2 where E will be in Joules. • Question 2 "Sunquakes" are studied to determine the interior properties of the Sun much like S and P waves

PHYS 1404 Week 7 Discussion 1 | Central Texas College | Assignment HelpSelect the Lesson 7 Discussion link above to participate in this discussion.• Our discussion threads in Lesson 7 turn away from our prior comparative planetology pursuits as we focus our attention on the closest star to Earth; the Sun. The Sun is far from the steady reliable entity that we perceive to rise every day. We will find out that this star is extremely active and

PHYS 1404 Week 7 Discussion 1 | Central Texas College | Assignment HelpLesson 7 Lab: Habitable ZonesInLesson 7 Lab: Habitable Zoneswe will apply many well-grounded scientific concepts to the problem of “Are We Alone”? As we study the Sun this lesson one of the primary byproducts of the Sun is Life on Earth. There are regions around the Sun and indeed the galaxy as a whole where life is more probable. As we explore our Sun and its influence o

PHYS 1404 Week 6 Lab Report | Assignment Help | Central Texas CollegeLesson 6 Lab: Cosmic Distance LadderTheLesson 6 Lab: Cosmic Distance Ladderintroduces a few of the primary methods used by astronomers to determine astronomical distances. Parallax is introduced first, spectroscopic parallax, main sequence fitting, variable stars, and supernova are all discussed. You will see how some of these methods are used to measure the distances to nearby

PHYS 1404 Week 5 Lab Report | Assignment Help | Central Texas CollegeLesson 5 Lab: Atmospheric RetentionTheLesson 5 Lab: Atmospheric Retentiongoal is to gain an understanding of the concept of atmospheric retention – the influence of gravity and temperature on atmospheric retention. As we are learning in Lesson 5, the ability for a planet to hold onto an atmosphere of a specific composition is based on its escape velocity and the gas present. Rec
