What are the two ways stars are classified?
Two ways are by temperature and brightness
What are some characteristics used to classify stars?
In Astronomy stars can be classified by theircolor (temperature)composition (as found by their spectrum)agelocation in a galaxymassproximity to other stars
How do the stars differ?
Stars are classified by the H-R scale. They are classified by their luminosity and their temperature. They can also be classified by stage; our sun is a main sequence star while the center of the milky way is a black hole(the corpse of a super massive star).
What are the four characteristics that scientists use to classify stars?
Stars are classified by four different characteristics. Apparent magnitude (brightness) and absolute magnitude (how bright it would appear at 10 parsecs from the earth). Luminosity, another measure of brightness, compares the star to the sun's brightness. Spectral classifications are measured by the star's temperatures. Finally stars are signed a number by scientists through the Morgan-Keenan System.
How are stars classified by size?
There is no real classification for stars by size, they are usually classified by luminosity However, a rough guide is:-HypergiantsSupergiantsBright GiantsGiantsSub giantsDwarfsSub dwarfsRed dwarfsWhite dwarfsBrown dwarfsNeutron starsSee related link for a spectral class breakdown and examples
