How is a star's emission spectrum used to study stars? A star's emission spectrum tells how hot a star is. A star's emission spectrum tells what atoms make up the star. A star's emission spectrum tells how far a star is from Earth. A star's emission spectrum tells the star's location in the sky.
I think its either the first or second one.
For my final guess after doing some brief research. I think its the second option
You can get the temperature from emission lines, but only the outer ,tatmosphere and/or surroundings - the kind of star might be determined And you can see what elements and ions are in the heated admosphere and/or surroundings, but absorbtion lines say more about elements in the photosphere, so No tHow far, no Position in the sky: no, thats astronometry I d go for the first I
None of the statements are completely true if you ask me
