What does it mean if a star has similar size and surface to the sun?
It means that it is the same size and surface temperature as our sun.
The surface temperature of the star Rigel is about 15000celiusThe sun has a temperature of about 6000celius Why does the sun appear so much brighter?
The sun is a lot closer.
How can two supergiant stars have an absolute magnitude of -3 but one has a radius of 10 times the sun and the other 100 times the sun?
The absolute magnitude of a star depends on the size and temperature; a large cooler star can generate as much light as a small very hot star.
What are some of the general terms used to describe star sizes?
Stars can be classified by temperature, pressure, age, size or colour. Star classification according to size is found out using temperature and pressure classifications. The temperature tells them the surface brightness of a star, and the pressure tells them an approximate size of the star, which tells them whether the star is a giant, a dwarf or something in between. These two measurements taken together can often give information on the star's age and distance from the earth.
What is the size of star procyon?
Procyon is actually a binary system. The heavier component, Procyon A, has about twice the radius and 1 and a half times the mass of the Sun. The smaller, lighter Procyon B is about 3/5 the mass and 1/8 the radius of the Sun.
How does the sun temperature compare to stars?
The sun is a star - so it's the same as any star its size.
What does it mean if a star has similar size and surface to the sun?
It means that it is the same size and surface temperature as our sun.
What do the different colors of the star mean?
The color of a star indicates its temperature. Blue or white stars are the hottest and smallest. Red or orange stars are the coolest and largest. Stars like our sun with a yellow color are medium in both size and temperature. Generally, the smaller a star is the hotter it is.
What kind of star is Betelgeuse exactly?
The star called Betelgeuse is a red giant. It is about 700 times the size of the sun, and its temperature is lower than that of the sun's, at around 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is unsual about the sun compared tho many other stars?
Nothing, really. The Sun is average in size, temperature, and density. Its an all around average star.
How much bigger is the sun then a star?
the sun is a star. It is of medium size and life span for a star.
Which star is smaller in size sun or Antares?
the sun is smaller in size y'all.
Is the sun different than a star?
No. It is a typical star of the main sequence for its mass. The composition and mass of each star determines its color, size, and life cycle.
What planet is least like earth in size and comparison?
Pluto. It is the 9th planet from the sun and it is very different then Earth in size and temperature
Are star different sizes?
yes there are different sizes of the sun like super giants and some suns are the same size of earth
Is the sun a Yellow star?
Yes, the Sun is a yellow star with a temperature of about 5500K (5227 degrees Celsius).
Which star's surface temperature is closest to the temperature at the boundary between earth's mantle and core?
The sun!
