OF STARS
Color, Temperature, Brightness
PICTURE
ANALYSIS
PICTURE ANALYSIS

Analyze Picture 1 and


answer the following
inquiry questions:
PICTURE 1
INQUIRY QUESTIONS
Which star is bigger?
Rigel or Sirius.
INQUIRY QUESTIONS
Can you tell the size
of the star just by
looking at it?
ANSWER
We can not tell the
size just by looking
at it.
PICTURE 2
INQUIRY QUESTIONS
Now, which star is
bigger? Rigel or
Sirius
ANSWER
Rigel is much
bigger
INQUIRY QUESTIONS
What do the colors
of the star mean?
ANSWER
The color has
something to do with
the temperature
INQUIRY QUESTIONS
Why do stars differ
in brightness?
ANSWER
Stars differ in brightness
because they vary in
size, temperature, and
distance from Earth.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Relate color with the temperature
of a star

Explain the factors that may affect the


brightness of the star

Appreciate the color and its relative


temperature as well as the brightness of the
stars in the universe
CHARACTERI
STICS OF A
STAR
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the activity, you
will be able to:
Relate the color and
temperature of a star.
Differentiate absolute and
apparent brightness
MATERIALS
Star Color and Temperature
Simulation
2 flashlights (big and small)
Internet
Device/ Phones
Ball pen or pencil
PROCEDURE

A. Star Color and


Temperature

2. Move the lever of the
simulation from left to
right to manipulate the
color and temperature
of the stars

B. Apparent
Brightness and
Absolute Brightness
PROCEDURE
1. Darken the room and
turn on the two
flashlights, big and small.
Let it shine through the
board.
PROCEDURE
2. Place the small flashlight
near the board and the big
flashlight far away from the
board. Observe which one is
brighter and take down notes.
PROCEDURE
3. Place the small and the
big flashlight on the same
distance. Observe which
one is brighter.

ACTIVITIES
INQUIRY QUESTION
Can you approximate
the temperatures of
the stars just by their
colors?
ANSWER
Yes, you can approximate
the temperatures of stars
by observing their colors
as seen in the simulation.
ANSWER
This is described by Wien's Law,
which states that hotter objects
emit more energy at shorter
wavelengths. As a result, the color
of a star provides a valuable clue
about its temperature.
INQUIRY QUESTION
How does the color of
a star relate to its
temperature?
ANSWER
The color of a star is closely
related to its temperature
through Wien's law, which
states that hotter objects emit
shorter wavelengths of light.
INQUIRY QUESTION
Can you arrange the
temperature of the
stars based on its
colors?
ANSWER
. In the simulation, I learned
that the arrangement from
hot to cold is: Red, Orange,
Yellow, Yellow White, White,
Bluish White and lastly, Blue.
INQUIRY QUESTION

Why do the stars


have different
brightness?
ANSWER
Stars have different
brightness due to factors
such as their size, distance
from Earth, and inherent
luminosity.
INQUIRY QUESTION
If the Sun is an
average star, why
does it appear so
bright to us?
ANSWER
The Sun appears
exceptionally bright to us
because it is relatively close
to Earth compared to other
stars
INQUIRY QUESTION
What is the difference
between absolute
and apparent
brightness?
ANSWER
Absolute brightness refers
to the actual amount of
light a star emits, regardless
of its distance from Earth.
ANSWER
Apparent brightness, on the
other hand, is how bright a star
appears from Earth, taking into
account both its intrinsic
luminosity and its distance from
the observer.
