Difference between Star and Stellar rotation

Star vs. Stellar rotation

A star is type of astronomical object consisting of a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by its own gravity. Stellar rotation is the angular motion of a star about its axis.

Similarities between Star and Stellar rotation

Star and Stellar rotation have 27 things in common (in Unionpedia): Achernar, Angular momentum, Binary star, Black hole, Brown dwarf, Convection, Doppler effect, Dynamo theory, Electromagnetic radiation, Giant star, Gravitational microlensing, Latitude, Main sequence, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Neutron star, Planetary nebula, Protostar, Pulsar, Solar mass, Spectral line, Starspot, Stellar classification, Stellar wind, Thermonuclear fusion, Type Ia supernova, Vega, White dwarf.

Achernar

Achernar is the name of the primary (or 'A') component of the binary system designated Alpha Eridani (α Eridani, abbreviated Alf Eri, α Eri), which is the brightest 'star' or point of light in, and lying at the southern tip of, the constellation of Eridanus, and the tenth-brightest in the night sky.

Angular momentum

In physics, angular momentum (rarely, moment of momentum or rotational momentum) is the rotational equivalent of linear momentum.

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.

Brown dwarf

Brown dwarfs are substellar objects that occupy the mass range between the heaviest gas giant planets and the lightest stars, having masses between approximately 13 to 75–80 times that of Jupiter, or approximately to about.

Convection

Convection is the heat transfer due to bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids, including molten rock (rheid).

Doppler effect

The Doppler effect (or the Doppler shift) is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to observer who is moving relative to the wave source.

Dynamo theory

In physics, the dynamo theory proposes a mechanism by which a celestial body such as Earth or a star generates a magnetic field.

Electromagnetic radiation

In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) refers to the waves (or their quanta, photons) of the electromagnetic field, propagating (radiating) through space-time, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy.
