What is Stars?

        Stars are a huge balls of hot gas and some of them are very shine and some of them are very dim. Stars can't live with out gases. They also have differents colors and sizes.
        Actually the stars you see at night looks like they are very small but apparently they are even bigger and brither than the Sun. Stars also can be classified in differents categories, which are colors, sizes, ages, luminosity, temperatures and spectral class.

Types of Stars   

      There are four types of stars. Which are Super Giant, Giants, White Dwarf & Main Sequence. Supergiant stars are in a huge middle age stars that could have any temperature, color, brightness and spectral class. Giant stars are in middle age and they are large and shine. White Dwarf they are white old and small stars. They have very law temperature and mostly they are hot stars and dim stars. Main Sequence are young medium stars that have middle age and they can be any colors, sizes, ages, luminosity, temperatures and spectral class. They also are bright and dim stars.

                                
  
 H-R Diagram
   

         H-R Diagram which stands for Hertzsprung-Russel Diagram. H-R Diagram is a graphical tool that use to classify stars by their luminosity, spectral type, color, temperature and their stages. 

         
              
    
    In this diagram also shows the stars names, their sizes, their relationships and the differences between them. With all those informations you can find their spectral class.


Nuclear Fusion

        Nuclear Fusion is when two hydrogen molecules gets together and makes one helium molecule. This is a process that which the stars make their energies and their heat.





The Life Cycle of a Star

 First of all, all the stars are born in a giant clounds od dust and gas called Stellar Nebula. There are three differents types of stars, which are Sun-like Stars, Huge Stars and Giant Stars.
   Sun-like stars, begin with Stellar Nebula and then goes through Red Giants, Planetary Nebula, White Dwarf, and Black Dwarf. Huge stars, starts with Stellar Nebula too and then become a Red Giant star, and after that explodes into Supernova and then become a Neutron Star. Giant Stars also starts with Nebula Stellar, then goes through Red Super Giant,  after that exploudes in to Supernova and finally become a Black Dwarf.

Inner Terrestrial

Planet Description:

• Venus's surface is hidden by thick clouds of sulfuric acid.
• Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System. Because Venus has an extremely thick atmosphore, which consists mainly of carbon dioxide and some nitrogen.
• Made up of an aron core surrounded by rock.

2 Intersting Facts:

• Venus and Mercury are the only the only one two planets in the Solar System that dont have Moon.
• Venus is the only planet in the Solar System to turn in clockwise. 

Hurricane Irene Project

Critical Thinking

1.What effect does water temperature have on the creation a hurricane?
A: The effect is that the warmer the water is the more energy there is to making the hurricane more worse that means if the hurricane can not be made with cold temperature.

2. Why would there be more damage to an area during high tide?
A:  The high tide in the area will be more damage from the destruction of buildings, roads, soil will become much smoother. Will be more damage  because the water is already higher.

3. If an area is fully saturated, how will this be more dangerous for an area?
A: If an area is saturated and then the hurricane hits will be a flood because your area has a lot of water.

4. Why would there be more flooding if the ground was fully saturated? 
A: When the hurricane strikes the ground within water moves.

Reflection

1: What is something that you liked about this Mini-Project?
A: Something that i liked about this Mini-Project was the informations that i got about the Hurricane and when we did our own school blog.

2: What was difficult for you in this project?
A: What was difficult for me in this project  was finding the right answer to some questions.

3: What would you change about your work on this project?
A: What I would change about mine work in this project is to give more informations about some questions.

4: How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?
A: This project helped me learn about Hurricane Irene  by how the Hurricane Irene form, the causes  and the effects of the Hurricane.
