CCC: Energy and MatterStudent describes electromagnetic emission and absorption spectra are used to determine a star’s composition.Summary explains that during fusion, although the total number of atoms decreases, the total mass is conserved (protons and neutrons).Summary outlines when elements combine through fusion, large amounts of energy is released. Summary outlines stars give off energy and that is how we can see them in space.
