1 What is a star & how many different kinds are there?
By: ADRIAN SEAN D. APARILLA Aaron Kyle R. Daug Environmental science Grade 6 - Neil Armstrong

2 Outline Sean : Aaron : All About stars Classifications History
Descriptions Life Cycle Aaron : Types of Stars Definitions for every Star

3 ALL ABOUT STARS

4 CLASSIFICATIONS

5 An easy mnemonic for remembering these is:
O - oh B - be A - a F - fine G - girl K - kiss M - me

6 HISTORY Ancient people: quadrant 1584 : Giordana Bruno
Greek astronomers: Ptolemy and Hipparchus 20th century

7 DESCRIPTIONS OF STARS a luminous globe of gas
nebulae & consist of hydrogen and helium gas 2000°C to above 30,000°C brightest stars times that of the Sun smallest mass for a star is about 8% that of the Sun

9 DIFFERENT KINDS OF STAR

10 The different kinds of stars are:
Yellow dwarf stars Orange dwarf stars Red dwarf stars Brown dwarfs Blue giant stars Red giant stars Red super giant stars White dwarfs Black dwarfs Neutron stars

11 Yellow Dwarf Stars (the sun, Alpha Centauri A, Kepler-22)
Lifetime: billion years Evolution: early, middle Temperature: 5, ,300 °C Spectral Types: G, F Luminosity: Radius: Mass: Prevalence: 10%

12 Brown Dwarfs Lifetime: unknown (long) Evolution: not evolving Temperature: 0 - 1,800 °C Spectral Types: L, T, Y (after M) Luminosity: ~ Radius: Mass: Prevalence: unknown (many)

13 Orange Dwarf Stars(Alpha Centauri B and Epsilon Eridani)
Lifetime: billion years Evolution: early, middle Temperature: 3, ,000 °C Spectral Types: K Luminosity: Radius: Mass: Prevalence: 11%

14 Red Dwarf Stars(Proxima Centauri, Barnard's Star and Gliese 581)
Lifetime: billion years Evolution: early, middle Temperature: 1, ,500 °C Spectral Types: M Luminosity: Radius: Mass: Prevalence: 73%

15 Red Supergiant Stars (Betelgeuse and Antares)
Lifetime: million years Evolution: late Temperature: 3, ,000 ºC Spectral Types: K, M Luminosity: 1, ,000 Radius: Mass: Prevalence: %

16 Blue Giant Stars(Rigel) Lifetime: 3 - 4,000 million years
Evolution: early, middle Temperature: 7, ,000 °C Spectral Types: O, B, A Luminosity: ,000,000 Radius: Mass: Prevalence: 0.7% hubpages.com

17 Red Giant Stars(Aldebaran and Arcturus)
Lifetime: billion years Evolution: late Temperature: 3, ,000 °C Spectral Types: M, K Luminosity: Radius: Mass: Prevalence: 0.4%

18 White Dwarfs(Sirius B and Van Maanen's star)
Lifetime: years Evolution: dead, cooling Temperature: 4, ,000 ºC Spectral Types: D (degenerate) Luminosity: Radius: Mass: Prevalence: 4% hubpages.com

19 Black Dwarfs Lifetime: unknown (long) Evolution: dead Temperature: < -270 °C Spectral Types: none Luminosity: infinitesimal Radius: Mass: Prevalence: ~0%

20 Neutron Stars Lifetime: unknown (long) Evolution: dead, cooling Temperature: < 2,000,000 ºC Spectral Types: D (degenerate) Luminosity: ~ Radius: km Mass: Prevalence: 0.7%
