Answer:

The spectra of the Sun and stars exhibited bright and dark lines called Fraunhofer lines. These were shown to be caused by elements emitting or absorbing light at specific wavelengths. Because each element emits or absorbs light only at specific wavelengths, the chemical composition of stars can be determined.

Describe how the surface area affect the rate of a reaction
leva [86]
When we increase the surface area of an object, more atoms are exposed. Since more atoms are exposed, the atoms can react faster, and this is why the rate of a reaction increases when the surface area increases.

For example, lets say we want to heat a potato. If we just put the whole potato in the microwave, it will take a long time for the potato to get thoroughly heated. However, if we chop the potato into smaller pieces, we will observe that it gets heated much faster. This is because we increased the surface area of the potato, which resulted in more potato atoms to be exposed to the heat, and caused the reaction to be faster.
