Question
spectra of sun and elements from lab
the sun is made of gases.
just like in the simulation we observed, light released from inside the sun has to pass through the gases that make up th
using the spectra patterns from the sun and elements, you determined that the sun is composed of (made of) whic
a sodium gas
b lithium gas
c helium gas
d hydrogen gas
By comparing the spectral patterns of the Sun with those of different elements, we can identify the elements present in the Sun. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Sun. Spectral analysis is a common method in astronomy to determine the composition of stars. The spectral pattern of hydrogen closely matches features seen in the Sun's spectrum.
