    The document defines key astronomy terms including the Big Bang theory of the universe's birth, fusion as how hydrogen forms helium in extreme conditions, and convection as the transfer of energy through heated gas motion. It also explains solar phenomena like the corona, sunspots, and solar wind, in addition to units of measurement such as light years and parallax. Finally, it outlines astronomical objects and stages of stars like nebulae, the main sequence, neutron stars, and black holes formed by supernovae collapse.

    Big Bang

    a theory that deduces a cataclysmic birth of the universe

    Fusion

    Under extreme conditions, hydrogen particles collide and combine to form helium.

    Convection

    Transfer of energy from place to place by the motion of heated gas.

    Corona

    Outermost layer of the Sun.

    Sunspots

    Spots on the photosphere that are cooler than the surrounding areas.

    Solar wind

    Electrically charged particle that flow out from the Sun's corona.

    Light year

    The distance light travels in one year; 6 trillion miles.

    Parallax

    Astronomer's measure of distance.

    Nebula

    Stars formed inside a cloud of gas and dust.

    Main sequence

    The stage in which stars produce energy through fusion.

    Neutron star

    An extremely dense body formed by the collapsed core of a supergiant star.

    Black hole

    The extreme collapse of a Supernova becoming invisible.

    Doppler Effect

    The shift in frequency or wavelength.
