The spectrum of stars consists of bright lines and dark lines. These lines are produced when the star emits or absorbs energy at specific wavelengths. Emission line spectroscopy is used in order to find out the star’s colour spectrum. The spectrum can be found by using a visible light telescope or by collecting radiation that the stars emit and putting it through a spectroscope to produce a spectrum.
This spectrum tells us the brightness of the star, scientists can actually look at the spectrum and they are able to find out the brightness. By knowing the brightness of the
