The learners demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the visible
constellations in the sky and Earth’s position along it’s orbit.
Code:
1. Infer the characteristics of the stars based on the characteristic of the Sun;
2. Compare the physical characteristics of the Sun to the other-main sequence
stars; and
3. Cite the significance of the Sun to the life on Earth.
Characteristics of the Stars
 What are stars?
Stars are cosmic energy engines that produce heat, light,
ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and other forms of radiation. They are
composed largely of gas and plasma, a superheated state of
matter. Stars are powered by nuclear fusion reaction, a form of
nuclear reactions by which the nuclei of smaller atoms fuse
together and form a heavier nucleus with a huge release of
energy.
 The Sun
The Sun is the closest star to Earth which the planets revolve
and from which they receive light and heat: its mean distance
from the earth is about 93 million miles (150 million km), its
diameter about 864,000 miles (1.4 million km), and its mass
about 330,000 times that of the earth.
 Characteristics of stars
Distance : The stars we see at night appear to be very small
because they are very distance from you. Because of this
distaces are measure in light year. We use light-time to measure
the vast distances of space. LIGHT IS FAST, nothing travels
faster than light. Light-year is the distance light travels in one
year. Light zips through interstellar space at 186,000 miles
(300,000 kilometers) per second and 5.88 trillion miles (9.46
trillion kilometers) per year.
Brightness : Two characteristics define brightness: luminosity
and magnitude. Luminosity is the amount of light that a star
radiates. The size of the star and its surface temperature
determine its luminosity. Apparent magnitude of a star is its
perceived brightness, factoring in size and distance, while
absolute magnitude is its true brightness irrespective of its
distance from earth.
Color : A star's color depends on its surface temperature. Cooler
stars tend to be redder in color, while hotter stars have a bluer
appearance. Stars in the mid ranges are white or yellow, such as
our sun. Stars can also blend colors, such as red-orange stars or
blue-white stars.
Surface Temperature : Astronomers measure a star's

temperature on the Kelvin scale. Zero degrees on the Kelvin
scale is theoretically absolute and is equal to -273.15 degrees
Celsius. The coolest, reddest stars are approximately 2,500 K,
while the hottest stars can reach 50,000 K. Our sun is about
5,500 K.
Size ; Astronomers measure the size of a given star in terms of
our own sun's radius. Thus, a star that measure 1 solar radii
would be the same size as our sun. The star Rigel, which is
much larger than our sun, measures 78 solar radii. A star's size,
along with its surface temperature, will determine its
luminosity.
Mass : A star's mass is also measured in terms of our own sun,
with 1 equal to the size of our sun. For instance, Rigel, which is
much larger than our sun, has a mass of 3.5 solar masses. Two
stars of a similar size may not necessarily have the same mass,
as stars can vary greatly in density.

Are you familiar with the term “diamonds in the sky”? What do
you think it is referred to?
This is an illustration of the stars near Earth after the Sun. Now,
can you tell me the size of stars just by looking at it?
Are they similar in size? Do they emit the same color?
Which of these tars are the brightest?
Learners will be shown series of video clips:
https://youtu.be/-00xwYv22xE – Why do stars shine?

2. How does distance affect the characteristics of stars?
3. How does color of stars relate to the temperature of a star?
4. Why do we use light year as a unit for distance of stars?
5. How important is the Sun to Earth?
In terms of apparent brightness, Sirius appears brighter than Rigel
since it is closer to the Earth. But compared to the sun, the Rigel
is thousands brighter than the sun while Sirius is only 27 times
brighter than the sun. in terms of absolute magnitude, Rigel is
brighter than.
What other comparison can we infer between sun and other stars’
characteristics?
