Notes on Stellar Spectra

1. absorption spectra because we see all the colors except the ones absorbed (they show up as black lines)

2. closer because when something is farther away it barely looks like it is moving

3. Luminosity and brightness

4. nuclear fusions, Hydrogen fuses to form Helium which causes a loss in mass. the mass is converted into energy

5. magnitude is the appearance from earth but intensity is the actual brightness
