Variable star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A star is classified as variable if its apparent brightness as seen from Earth changes over time, whether the changes are due to variations in the star's actual luminosity, or to variations in the a...

Brightness of Stars ... Many stars are part of a double star system, and some will vary their brightness. Stars evolve through a life cycle that begins with their creation in an interstellar cloud. The cloud slowly collapses due to gravity, a protostar is formed and soon the internal temperature rises high enough to...

My role in the Kepler mission is to understand how stellar activity affects the brightness of stars and to help assure that it is not fooling us in detecting terrestrial transits.

Activity 7. Ranking stars by brightness ... There are plenty of everyday examples of how temperature affects the color of a hot object. Watch the element of a toaster as it heats up. It begins to glow with a deep red color, then turns orange-red as it becomes even hotter.

This program considers the characteristics and life cycles of stars. We study a star’s features and how its temperature affects its color and brightness. Learn how stars evolve from their creation from gas clouds to their final stage as either white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes.

When you look up at the stars on a clear night you will see that they are of different brightness. This is due to two things: (a) How far away from the Earth it is and; (b) How bright the star really is; (a) It is easy to see why the distance from the Earth affects how bright the star appears.

The final lesson will talk about stars. This is an activity that the students will really get into. They will be looking at how distance affects the brightness of stars. Each of these lessons will help the students to gain knowledge and understanding of the solar system and the universe.

Astronomers use a special term to talk about the brightness of stars. The term is "magnitude". The magnitude scale was invented by the ancient Greeks around 150 B.C. The Greeks put the stars they could see into six groups.
