ASTRONOMY

Listen to the lecture in an astronomy class. Fill in the diagram with the information you hear.

STAR DEVELOPMENT

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

Atoms from the
gaseous materials in the
star’s core collide,
creating heat energy,
and producing the
proto star, the star then
begins to shrink
Hydrogen fusion in the Hydrogen fusion causes Eventually, the star runs
star’s core, which also high temperature and out of fuel or energy
creates a byproduct of high pressure reactions, and begins to die
Helium causing the star’s
luminosity and
temperature to get
higher

1. Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer the question

Why does the professor say this
A. To express disappointment in the students
B. To explain why he chose the topic of the lecture
C. To suggest that the students study harder
D. To ask students to contact him with questions
2. Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer the question
Why does the professor say this
A. To contrast the energy output of younger and older stars
B. To refute a common theory about star formation
C. To describe the characteristics of a main sequence star
D. To explain how stars increases energy output
3. Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer the question
Why does the professor say this
A. To ask students to participate
B. To make sure the concept is clear
C. To remaind students to take notes
D. To return from a digression

Fill in the blanks to complete the summary.

The process describes the different stages in the life of a star. First, the star begins life as a protostar when
energy is created by the collision of atoms. In the next stage, fusion in the star’s core begins, and the star
becomes a main sequence star. Next, reactions cause the star to get hotter and brighter. Lastly, when the star
runs out of energy, it begins to die.
