CLASS?
Effects and Impacts
 

of climate change.
 CITE SOME OF THE
EFFECTS AND IMPACTS
OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
It affects human life and
it has an impacts to the
plants and animals.
 WHEN WILL YOU TAKE ACTION IN
CURBING/HELP THE IMPACTS OF
CLIMATE CHANGE? HOW?
I will take an action in limiting the
impacts of climate change when I
feel like it is not okay for humans.
How? I will plant trees and I will
LET US
SING
Twinkle, twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high.
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are.

WHAT IS STAR?
STAR is a huge glowing
ball of hot gases, mainly
hydrogen and helium.
WHERE DO STARS
COME FROM?
Stars form from
an accumulation of
gas and dust.
OBJECTIVES:
Explain the factors that may affect
the brightness of a star.
Investigate why do stars differ in
brightness.
Relate color with temperature of a
star.
When we look at the night sky, we see
thousands of stars. In reality, there are
approximately 400 billion stars in our
galaxy, and there are about 170 billion
galaxies. A person can see only about
3,000 stars on the average.
What are the characteristics of
stars? Are the stars the same in
size? Are the stars same in color?
Are the stars equally bright?
 
 To answer these
questions, study the
following figures and
table

 LET US NOW
DISCUSS YOUR
ANSWERS
1. BASED ON FIGURE 1,
WHICH STAR IS
BIGGER- SIRIUS OR

Sirius
RIGEL?
Sirius, which appear
bigger than Rigel in
Figure 1.
2. BASED ON FIGURE 2,
WHICH STAR IS
BIGGER- SIRIUS OR

Rigel
RIGEL?
 Sirius is actually very small
compared to Rigel. Sirius
appears larger only because it is
closer to us
COMPARE THE SIZE OF THE SUN
TO SOME OTHER NEARBY STARS
BASED ON FIGURE 2
Our Sun is an average
sized star: there are
smaller stars and larger stars
compared to the other stars in
figure 2.
WHAT STAR IS CLOSEST
TO EARTH?

Sun
 Figure 2 shows the size of the
Sun, the closest star to Earth, as
compared to some other stars
that we see at night.
 Sun is only about 149.6 million
kilometers away, and it takes only
8 minutes and 20 seconds for
sunlight to reach our world. Its
diameter is about 1.4 million
kilometers, 100 times of the earth. 
 WHAT IS THE COLOR OF
THE COOLEST STAR?
HOTTEST STAR?
The color of the coolest is
red and the hottest is blue.
 The color of the star indicates its surface
temperature. Stars emit colors of many
different wavelengths, but the wavelength
of light where a star's emission is
concentrated is related to the star's
temperature - the hotter the star, the more
BLUE it is; the cooler the star, the more
RED it is.
WHAT STAR HAS THE LOWEST
TEMPERATURE? HIGHEST
TEMPERATURE?
Proxima Centauri has the lowest
temperature and the star that has
highest temperature is the Alnilam.
 The lower the
magnitude the brighter
the star is.
 WHAT STAR IS THE
BRIGHTEST AS SEEN ON
EARTH OR APPARENT
MAGNITUDE.?
The sun is the brightest
star seen on earth.
The brightness of a star as seen
from the Earth depends on two
factors-distance and the actual
brightness (or absolute brightness)
of the star.
Apparent brightness is the
star’s brightness as seen from
Earth . It depends on how far
away a star is from the Earth.
 
Absolute brightness is
measured using the distance
between the star and Earth. 
BRIGHTEST IN TERMS OF
ABSOLUTE MAGNITUDE?

Rigel
 RIGEL IN TERMS OF
DISTANCE AND
BRIGHTNESS.
Sirius is closer to us than Rigel and
Sirius is brighter than Rigel, in terms
of apparent magnitude. And in
absolute magnitude Rigel is brighter
than Sirius.
 LET US NOW
TEST YOUR
UNDERSTANDIN
G?
Stars are beautiful, wondrous
things. Much like planets,
planetoids and other stellar
bodies, they come in many
sizes, shapes, and even colors.
 HOW MANY LARGE
STARS ARE BEING
PRESENTED ON THE
VIDEO YOU WATCHED?

10 stars
WHAT IS THE NUMBER 1
LARGEST STAR BASE ON
THE VIDEO YOU
WATCHED?
UY Scuti.
 WHY ARE STARS
IMPORTANT?
The reason why stars are so
important is because they have
helped humans navigate through
Earth .
When it was dark these stars
would light up the sky giving
people light . In addition stars
are very important because
they make life on Earth
