#5.5.1a
the terms planets, planetary satellites, comets, solar systems, galaxies and the universe
#5.5.1b

Learners are not expected to know the details of fusion in terms of Einstein’s mass-energy equation.
#5.5.1c
evolution of a low-mass star like our Sun into a red giant and white dwarf; planetary nebula
#5.5.1d
characteristics of a white dwarf; electron degeneracy pressure; Chandrasekhar limit
#5.5.1e
evolution of a massive star into a red super giant and then either a neutron star or black hole; supernova
#5.5.1f
characteristics of a neutron star and a black hole
#5.5.1g
Hertzsprung–Russell (HR) diagram as luminosity-temperature plot; main sequence; red giants; super red giants; white dwarfs.
