stars have an internal heat source that acts as the light and are surrounded by cooler gases that make up the stars atmosphere. what kind of spectrum would we see if we looked at a star?
absorption
emission
continuous

Explanation:

• For Question 5: In an emission spectrum, photons are emitted when electrons in an atom transition from a higher - energy state to a lower - energy state.
• For Question 6: Stars have a hot interior (continuous source of light) and a cooler outer atmosphere. The cooler outer atmosphere absorbs certain wavelengths, resulting in an absorption spectrum.

Answer:

Question 5: A. A photon
Question 6: A. Absorption
