Supergiant stars a. form from red giants. c. form planetary nebulae. b. fuse hydrogen into carbon. d. form supernovas.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As the outer layers expand from the helium core, the star becomes a red giant. The helium at the center of the star continues to increase until a helium core is formed. Nuclear reaction then begins to spread outward. As the helium core grows heavier, the core's temperature also increases, and the outer layers begin to expand until the star becomes a massive red star known as a red giant :D

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

So it forms froms a red giant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think yes it forms from a red giant :D

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

All stars a. reflect light from the sun. c. produce their own light. b. appear to wander off their star paths. d. All of the above.

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

Is it D.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

It would be c, because a star is a sun.. stars give off their own light. (Fun fact: the light from stars we see in the sky took billions of years to reach Earth, so we're looking billions of years into the past when we look at the starry sky!)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's D In their super-hot cores, which are at many millions of degrees Kelvin, stars generate their own energy by nuclear reaction :D

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

D doesn't make sense because it can't be all of them. A is wrong because stars give off their own light, so therefore, they don't need to reflect light from the sun.. They are suns!! And they also don't go off their paths.. or we cannot prove that they go off their paths. Sooo the only correct answer there is that they give off their own light.

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

Ok ok so white mouse is right i need help with one more

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

Stars are driven by nuclear fusion reactions?

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

Actually wrong one

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

Extremely high temperatures and pressures are necessary for fusion reactions to take place in stars. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

This true?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Yes that is true: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/astro/astfus.html

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

(first paragraph on the page)

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

Thanks

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

Thank you both

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

You're welcome! If you ever need help with anything else, you can just tag me in the question or msg me. =^_^=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are welcome :D

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

Hm not to seem pushy but can you help with one more

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Haha sure :p

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

The composition of stars can be determined by examining their colors. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

IS this true?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

True: http://www.universetoday.com/75839/why-are-stars-different-colors/ (Read second paragraph)

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

Thank you

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

You're welcome!! :3
