question
drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.
match the variable star to its definition.
tiles
pulsating variables eruptive variables rotating variables cataclysmic variables
pairs
stars that go through mass ejections
or flares
stars that go through explosive changes
stars that change in radii as part
of the aging process
stars that display variable brightness
due to their rotation

Explanation:

• Eruptive variables are stars that go through mass ejections or flares.
• Cataclysmic variables are stars that go through explosive changes.
• Pulsating variables are stars that change in radii as part of the aging process.
• Rotating variables are stars that display variable brightness due to their rotation.

Answer:

stars that go through mass ejections or flares → eruptive variables
stars that go through explosive changes → cataclysmic variables
stars that change in radii as part of the aging process → pulsating variables
stars that display variable brightness due to their rotation → rotating variables
