In many text, the Sun is referred to as a low-mass star, yet it is also referred to as a medium-mass (or intermediate-mass) star in some other text. Which one is "correct"? What is the range of low-mass vs medium-mass? Is it really just low-mass vs high-mass and that medium-mass is just the...

Ahhhhh ok! Cleared up a lot of confusion for me. Thanks a bunch!

Ok, there lies some of my confusion. You said that it is a continuous spectrum with lines removed by absorption. Is that not an absorption spectrum? I guess I am confused by the usage of these two terms at this point. Are they both correct? As in, the spectrum of the Sun IS continuous, but since...

I get that part, but maybe I'm just not seeing an obvious answer or something. If I look at the spectrum of a beam of sunlight, would I see a continuous one or one with dark lines on it? I thought I would see an absorption one (like this...

Ok, I'm a bit confused with the spectrum of the Sun. Is the spectrum of the Sun continuous or absorption? Better yet, is it both? Or am I totally confusing myself? I understand that the source itself is continuous but it is partially absorbed (wrong phrasing?) as it passes through the outer...

Ah ok! That makes sense! Something clicked! Thanks very much!

From my understanding, if I connect a capacitor to a power source, given enough time the capacitor will be fully charged and no current goes through the circuit. What if I have two or multiple capacitors connected in series? Do they all get charged at the same time? What if they have different...
