The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is a scatter graph of known stars. It shows the absolute magnitudes (actual brightness at a set distance) versus the spectral type or classification (which is effectively what their temperature is). Stars, when plotted onto this graph, tend to fall into set patterns. The position of a star within a pattern (or sequence) can give further information, such as how old the star is.

Where is absolute magnitude indicated on the HR diagram?
its located somewhere
Which part of the main sequence in the HR diagram contains the stars that took the longest to reach the main sequence?
The HR diagram does not reference stars on their way to the main sequence, only during or after.
A diagram that tells how two variables are related is called what?
A graph
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 colors of the HR Diagram?
The colors of the HR Diagram are:BlueBlue-WhiteYellowOrangeRed-OrangeRed
Why is the hr diagram important to scientist?
The main reason that the HR Diagram is so useful and important to scientists is, you can tell the size of the star by plotting it on the HR Diagram. The different sizes of stars form a pattern on the HR diagram.
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.

What chart show is the characteristics of a star?
HR diagram
What are the smallest stars in the HR diagram?
The red dwarves.
What part of the HR diagram are Red supergiant stars in?
Up at the top right. If you look on the Australian Telescope National facility website, their HR diagram shows this clearly.
What is find the values of the variables in the parallelogram the diagram is not the scale?
The diagram is not only not the scale, it is not even there!
What is a diagram that shows how 2 variables are related?
A Venn Diagram seems to be your best bet.
What is the diagram that shows how two variables are related?
nope
