Wouldn't we get the same composition from the spectral analysis of the suns they orbit? Serious question, not a poke. I'm not an astronomy nerd and would love

Serious question, not a poke. I'm not an astronomy nerd and would love some education from a hn friend.
- gbear605 7y agoI’m not an astronomer, but I’d hypothesize that the composition of the non-solar objects in a solar system (eg. a comet) is different from the composition of the sun in that solar system.
- pmalynin 7y agoThe spectra we receive will include the absorption lines from passing through the stuff around the other sun and surrounding matter. I don't know how strong the effect will be, but it should be observable.
