I did!
but the point is...
I'm still an ESL (English Second Language) student... my English skill still isn't that good...
I did do the questions by myself...
but i just want to check if I got them right or not since the test is on Friday... and the quarter IS ending of Friday... so I don't want my grade to lower because of that...
by the way... to cosom: I'm in 8th grade... i dont think it's anything like Astronomy 101
 
Looks like a midterm exam in Astronomy 101 to me.

I bet you can find all that information somewhere on the internet in your first language.
 
1. Its temperature
2. The temperature of hotter star is higher than colder star
3. because they are far away
4. age relative to color
6. an old dwarf
10. a lot
 
Get out your Text, read the chapter and answer the questions. This is what they call homework. Try it, it can help your grade.
Good luck.
