1. Why does fusion take place at very high temperatures?
Ans: High temperatures mean high collisional velocities, which can
allow protons to overcome their mutual electrical repulsion.
How did Harlow Shapley avoid the bias of dust when measuring the size
and shape of the Milky Way?
Assignment Expert
Ans: By using globular clusters
The ion tail of a comet points:
Guru01 - Stuvia
Ans: in the direction of solar wind.
Spring Tides occur:
2026
Ans: during new and full moon.

5. As a result of collision, galaxies are most likely to evolve:
Ans: from spirals to ellipticals
A comet moves on an elliptical orbit around the sun. Where is the comet's
speed largest?
Ans: Perihelion.
What happens when a White Dwarf steals enough mass from it's
companion to exceed 1.4 solar masses.
Ans: it fuses nearly all of its carbon at once and becomes a supernova.
Which of the following electron transitions would release a photon with
the most energy?
, 2 for specific request mail
Ans: 4 to 1
Where is the Sun located within the Milky Way?
Ans: in the disk, about 8 kpc from the center.
10. Where is the Sun located within the Milky Way?
Ans: In the disk, about 8 kpc from the center.
Why does stellar fusion of massive stars end with an iron core?
Ans: Iron does not release energy when it undergoes fusion.
Assignment Expert
What stops the collapse of the most massive stars (cores greater than 3
solar masses) at the end of their lives.
Guru01 - Stuvia
