    This document is a physics worksheet on astronomy and cosmology for a high school student. It contains 3 questions about astronomical concepts: 1) Why some stars appear brighter, including that brighter stars are closer or more luminous. 2) Calculating the radiant flux intensity of a star 1.8×1024 m from Earth with a luminosity of 3.8×1031 W. 3) Analyzing the redshift of a spectral line from a star in a galaxy, including calculating the star's speed and distance from Earth, and concluding that the universe is expanding based on the increased wavelength.
