Study - Universe
Our best links about studying the universe. Covering Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams, Parallax, and nuclear processes that go on in the sun.
1. Hertzprung-Russell diagram
The Hertzprung-Russell diagram is a tool that shows relationships and differences between stars. It is something of a "family portrait."
2. Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram
A brief description of the Hertzsprung Russell diagram and different star types
3. The Proton-Proton Chain
Read how stars like our sun use the proton-proton chain to generate energy by turning hydrogen to helium
4. The Proton-Proton Chain - turning hydrogen into helium
How do we turn hydrogen into helium and make energy? A simple explanation of the nuclear fusion process that goes on in our sun.
5. Competition between the P-P Chain and the CNO Cycle
What nuclear fusion reactions go on inside stars, and what does it depend on? Find about the proton proton chain reaction.
6. The CNO cycle
The fusion reactions of the CNO Cycle allows bigger stars to convert hydrogen to helium.
