Passage 3
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star is a lovely song
for children, but it has two
misunderstandings. First, stars aren’t little.
Some may be Earth-sized, but
most are bigger
than Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar
system. Second,
they don’t twinkle; they
shine. And the brightness and color of the light
from each star provide information about its
temperature, size and even
its age.
Viewing the stars from Earth is a bit like looking
at them through a
water filter(过滤器) because
the air is thick compared to the emptiness of
space. What is more, air is always moving, so
starlight appears to be
moving, too. The air
also makes stars appear dimmer(暗淡的) than they
would be if we could see them from space.
If you stop and examine the sky on a dark and
moonless night, it’s
easy to find color
differences among stars. The color of a star is a
signal
of its surface temperature. The hottest
stars are blue, and the next hottest
are
white. Yellow stars like the sun are next, while
red stars are the
coolest of the visible
stars. Many red stars are so dim that people can’t
see them at all, and some stars hardly send
out any light at all. One reason
that stars
differ in brightness is that hotter stars produce
more energy than
cooler ones, but another
important reason is that some are much bigger
than others.
