How does a star's temperature affect its absolute magnitude?
The absolute magnitude of a start will increase both:* If its surface temperature increases, and * If its diameter increases.

Is mass or diameter closely related to magnitude?
Mass is closely related to the magnitude of an object's gravitational pull, while diameter is more associated with the physical size of the object. Generally, larger objects tend to have more mass, and this can affect the gravitational force they exert.
Explain a stars apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude?
Apparent magnitude is the brightness of an object as seen from Earth without any atmosphere.Absolute magnitude is the brightness of an object as seen from a predetermined distance, depending on the object.For planets, the distance used is 1 AU (Astronomical Units). Stars and galaxies use 10 parsecs which is about 32.616 light years.The dimmer an object is the higher the positive value. The brighter an object is the higher the negative value.Examples:The Sun has an apparent magnitude of -26.74 but an absolute magnitude of 4.83Sirius has an apparent magnitude of -1.46 but an absolute magnitude of -1.42This means that from Earth, the Sun is a lot brighter, but if the Sun was replaced by Sirius, Sirius would be 25 times more luminous.See related links for more information
Explain why size is the only factor that determines the stars absolute magnitude?
The absolute magnitude is a measure of the star's luminosity hence the smaller the size the less the absolute magnitude.

What is the absolute magnitude of the constellation scorpius?
Constellations don't have an absolute magnitude. That is a property of individual stars.
