When astronomers look at the spectrum of the Sun, they noticed that the light from one edge is slightly blue-shifted, while light from the opposite age is slightly red-shifted. What does this tell you about the Sun?
Earth tugs the Sun around as it orbits, but it affects the radial velocity of the sun by only 0.09m/s. How large a shift in wavelength does this cause in the Sun's spectrum at 575 nm?

If you observe a star’s blackbody spectrum twice, once from Earth and once from a space shuttle above Earth’s atmosphere, what will you see?

(Answer don't copy with hand written please)As a star runs out of hydrogen to fuel nuclear fusion in its core, changes within the star usually cause it to leave the main sequence, expanding and cooling as it does so. Would a star with a radius 12 times that of the Sun, but a surface temperature 0.5 times that of the Sun, be more, or less luminous than the Sun? Show and explain your reasoning. You may assume the surface area of a sphere is A = 4πr2.
