SCMH 1010 EXAM 4 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+ 2026
The study of heavenly bodies - ANS Astronomy
Detect visible light coming from heavenly bodies - ANS Optical Telescopes
Detects waves in other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum emitted from stars. -
ANS Radio Telescopes
Used to study the stars.
Most of which are Earth-based. - ANS Telescopes
Telescopes that are able to avoid the interference of the atmosphere that Earth-based
telescopes must endure. - ANS Orbiting Telescopes
Telescope used to measure both visible and ultraviolet radiation. It is used to observe both
planetary and stellar phenomena. - ANS The Hubble Space Telescope (HST)
Produces high-resolution X-Ray images of objects in the sky. - ANS Chandra X-Ray
Observatory

, Telescope that studies the regions around supermassive black holes and collisions between
neutron stars. - ANS Fermi Gamma Ray Telescope
Telescope that will explore the formation of the first galaxies and the details of the formations
of planetary systems.
(This was the designated successor to the Hubble) - ANS James Webb Space Telescope
Designed to measure small irregularities in the cosmic microwave background. - ANS Planck
Observatory
Searches for planets circling other stars. - ANS Kepler Observatory
- Has a definite internal structure.
- Energy-producing reactions occur in the central core.
- Hydrogen is converted into Helium, and protons and positrons collide.
-The mass lost in this process is turned into energy and radiated outward.
- From the central core outward, collisions of subatomic particles produce more energy. -
ANS The Sun
This area begins four-fifths of the way to the surface of the Sun.
- Convection in the hydrogen-rich material in this region brings energy back to the surface. -
ANS The convection zone
The relatively thin (about 150 kilometers thick) outer layer of the Sun. This region radiates most
of the light we see from the Sun and the heat we feel. - ANS Photosphere
The outermost halo of the photosphere.
- Only visible during a total eclipse of the Sun. - ANS Chromosphere and corona
