Meghnad Saha

Meghnad Saha was an Indian astrophysicist renowned for developing the Saha Equation, which explains how stars produce their characteristic light. This equation helps scientists understand the relationship between a star’s temperature, pressure, and the types of elements in its outer layers, revealing details about a star's composition and stage of life. His work bridged physics and astronomy, advancing our understanding of stellar spectra and the life cycle of stars. Saha's contributions significantly impacted modern astrophysics and our comprehension of the universe.
