Difference between Astronomy and Main sequence

Astronomy vs. Main sequence

Astronomy (from ἀστρονομία) is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. In astronomy, the main sequence is a continuous and distinctive band of stars that appear on plots of stellar color versus brightness.

Similarities between Astronomy and Main sequence

Astronomy and Main sequence have 33 things in common (in Unionpedia): Apparent magnitude, Black hole, CNO cycle, Convection zone, Dwarf star, Earth, Gravitational collapse, Helium, Hydrogen, Initial mass function, Interstellar medium, Jeans instability, Jupiter, Kelvin, Mass, Metallicity, Molecular cloud, Nuclear fusion, Parallax, Photosphere, Protostar, Radiation zone, Red giant, Spectral line, Star, Star cluster, Stellar classification, Stellar evolution, Sun, Supernova, ..., Variable star, White dwarf, 61 Cygni.

Apparent magnitude

The apparent magnitude of a celestial object is a number that is a measure of its brightness as seen by an observer on Earth.

Black hole

A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it.

CNO cycle

The CNO cycle (for carbon–nitrogen–oxygen) is one of the two known sets of fusion reactions by which stars convert hydrogen to helium, the other being the proton–proton chain reaction.

Convection zone

A convection zone, convective zone or convective region of a star is a layer which is unstable to convection.

Dwarf star

A dwarf star is a star of relatively small size and low luminosity.

Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.

Gravitational collapse

Gravitational collapse is the contraction of an astronomical object due to the influence of its own gravity, which tends to draw matter inward toward the center of gravity.

Helium

Helium (from lit) is a chemical element with symbol He and atomic number 2.

Hydrogen

Hydrogen is a chemical element with symbol H and atomic number 1.

Initial mass function

In astronomy, the initial mass function (IMF) is an empirical function that describes the initial distribution of masses for a population of stars.

Interstellar medium

In astronomy, the interstellar medium (ISM) is the matter and radiation that exists in the space between the star systems in a galaxy.

Jeans instability

In stellar physics, the Jeans instability causes the collapse of interstellar gas clouds and subsequent star formation.

Jupiter

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System.

Kelvin

The Kelvin scale is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale using as its null point absolute zero, the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases in the classical description of thermodynamics.

Mass

Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a net force is applied.

Metallicity

In astronomy, metallicity is used to describe the abundance of elements present in an object that are heavier than hydrogen or helium.

Astronomy and Metallicity · Main sequence and Metallicity · See more »

Molecular cloud

A molecular cloud, sometimes called a stellar nursery (if star formation is occurring within), is a type of interstellar cloud, the density and size of which permit the formation of molecules, most commonly molecular hydrogen (H2).

Nuclear fusion

In nuclear physics, nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come close enough to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons).

Parallax

Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines.

Photosphere

The photosphere is a star's outer shell from which light is radiated.

Protostar

A protostar is a very young star that is still gathering mass from its parent molecular cloud.

Radiation zone

A radiation zone, radiative zone or radiative region is a layer of a star's interior where energy is primarily transported toward the exterior by means of radiative diffusion and thermal conduction, rather than by convection.

Red giant

A red giant is a luminous giant star of low or intermediate mass (roughly 0.3–8 solar masses) in a late phase of stellar evolution.

Spectral line

A spectral line is a dark or bright line in an otherwise uniform and continuous spectrum, resulting from emission or absorption of light in a narrow frequency range, compared with the nearby frequencies.
