What makes up a star is it's composition, color, temperature, size, and brightness. What makes up a star is it's different layers, here is a list going from it's inner most layer to it's outer most layer: Core, Radiation Zone, Convection Zone, Photosphere, Chromosphere, and the Corona. The core is where nuclear fusion happens. The next layer is the Radiation Zone, where energy is transferred out (mainly in the form of electromagnetic radiation).  In the Convection Zone, hot gases rise from the bottom of the zone and gradually cool as they approach the top. The next layer, the Photosphere, is the layer that we see whenever we look at the sun because the gases are thick enough to be visible. The second to last layer of a star is the Chromosphere. The Chromosphere can only be seen during a total solar eclipse. The final layer is the Corona which can also only be seen during a total solar eclipse. My star is a G class star and it looks like it's currently a main sequence star. ]]> 2019-01-10 19:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/319445408 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320089427 The Nebula is the first stage of a star life. It is a large cloud of gas and dust spread out in a large amount. It will begin to pull some of the gas and dust together. This contracting cloud is called a protostar.]]> 2019-01-13 20:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320089427 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320104279 2019-01-13 22:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320104279 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320104428 A main sequence star will shine brightly and nuclear reactions inside it's core will produce light and heat. Our star is currently in this stage and it will be for much longer. All stars must turn into a Main-Sequence Star no mater how much mass they have. Our sun will convert hydrogen and helium inside their cores for energy. ]]> 2019-01-13 22:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320104428 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320104906 2019-01-13 22:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320104906 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320104958 The sun will turn into a Red Giant later in it's life. It expands and glows red as it cools and comes closer towards the end of it's life. Red Giants are also much smaller than a Red Super Giant and only smaller or medium sized stars can turn into it.  ]]> 2019-01-13 22:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320104958 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320105620 2019-01-13 22:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320105620 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320105678 Near the end of a stars life a small or medium sized star such as our sun will turn into a White Dwarf. Before the White Dwarf, the star will turn into a Planetary Nebula and the hot core is left behind. Once this core cools, it becomes a White dwarf]]> 2019-01-13 22:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320105678 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320106149 The sun is a Yellow Dwarf so it is therefore a G class star. A G class star is typically a medium sized star so as it goes through it's life, it will experience all the stages that have been mentioned. It is currently in it's Main-Sequence Star section of it's life and will continue to be in that phase for a long time. Our sun provides heat and light for us by combining hydrogen and helium in it's core with a process called nuclear fusion.]]> 2019-01-13 22:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320106149 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320106995 This part of human life is like the Nebula because it has not yet been born and it is still in the process of forming. After a while it will become a baby and be born. The Nebula will gather gas and dust together and then a star will be born]]> 2019-01-13 22:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320106995 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320107318 2019-01-13 22:34:52 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320107318 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320107380 This is the beginning stage of a humans life but it will go on to the next stage of it's life much more quickly than the star will. ]]> 2019-01-13 22:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320107380 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320107566 2019-01-13 22:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320107566 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320107595 This is in the middle stage of a humans life but unlike the star, it does not change color or temperature just tenses to be slower than they were when they were younger.]]> 2019-01-13 22:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320107595 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320107817 2019-01-13 22:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320107817 444323 https://padlet.com/444323/f0fn58shez72/wish/320107862 This is the last stage of a humans life where their body begins to shut down and as some people say, "Not work as it used to".
