What do the letters at the bottom axis of the hr diagram represent?
The letters at the bottom axis of the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram represent the spectral classes of stars, ranging from hotter (O, B) to cooler (G, K, M). Each letter corresponds to a different temperature of the star.
Type of stars in the H-R diagram?
The HR diagram has the star's temperature along the horizontal axis and the absolute magnitude (brightness) along the vertical axis. Each star is represented by a single dot. Higher temperature is usually associated with more brightness so many stars lie on or near a line on the diagram called the Main Sequence. Red giant stars are found on the upper right hand quarter because they are relatively cool but still very bright.
Where is absolute magnitude indicated on the HR diagram?
its located somewhere
Where does a star spend most of its life on an hr diagram?
On the main sequence.
The hr diagram graphs what 2 things?
The temperature and luminosity of stars.
What are the two ways you can classify stars?
The two ways are by their surface temperature (spectrum) and by their absolute magnitude (intrinsic brightness). The HR diagram has spectrum along the horizontal axis and absolute magnitude along the vertical axis. Each star occupies a point in the HR diagram.
How to read an HR diagram and interpret the data it presents?
To read an HR diagram, look at the stars' luminosity on the vertical axis and their temperature on the horizontal axis. The main sequence represents stars in stable fusion. Interpret data by noting a star's position on the diagram to determine its temperature, size, and stage of evolution.
What does an H-R diagram relate a star's temperature to?
The temperature is displayed along the horizontal axis while the vertical axis is the star's absolute magnitude. So the HR diagram is a scatter diagram relating temperature and brightness, and eah star occupies one point.
What does an h-r diagram relate a stars temperature to?
The temperature is displayed along the horizontal axis while the vertical axis is the star's absolute magnitude. So the HR diagram is a scatter diagram relating temperature and brightness, and eah star occupies one point.
What is a graph that shows the relatonship between stars surface temperature and its absolute magnitude?
That is called the Hertzsprung-Russell or HR diagram and each star occupies a point. The horizontal axis is temperature and the vertical axis is the absolute magnitude.
What are the labels for x and y axis of an hr diagram?
The x axis is the temperature *Kelvin. While the y axis is the luminosity of the star.
What kind of graph graph that shows the relationship of a star's temperature to its absolute magnitude?
That is called the HR diagram (Hertzsprung Russell) and the temperature is along the horizontal axis while the vertical axis is the star's absolute magnitude. Each star has a fixed point in this diagram, and it shows that most stars belong in a broad band on the left called the Main Sequence.
What do the letters at the bottom axis of the hr diagram represent?
The letters at the bottom axis of the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram represent the spectral classes of stars, ranging from hotter (O, B) to cooler (G, K, M). Each letter corresponds to a different temperature of the star.
Where are most stars plotted on an HR diagram?
Most stars are plotted along the main sequence in the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram, which extends diagonally from the upper left (hot and luminous stars) to the lower right (cool and less luminous stars). This is because the majority of stars, including our Sun, spend the majority of their lives in the main sequence phase where they are fusing hydrogen into helium.
How can stars be classified using the hertz sprung Russell diagram?
On the HR diagram each star occupies a single point, depending on its surface temperature (horizontal) and its absolute magnitude (vertical).
Where are stars on the hr diagram?
The HR diagram contains only stars - so everywhere.
Why is there no neurton stars in the hr diagram?
Of course they are on the HR diagram. They are simply not on the main sequence.
