Looking at the H-R diagram what 2 factors determine the brightness of a star?

The H-R diagram graphs total brightness versus surface temperature (related to color); by itself, it doesn't tell you where those two things come from.The brightness of a star depends on its mass, and on where it is in its development history.

What are two factors that determine the brightness of a star?
distance from the sun and the age of the star
What factors determine a stars brightness as seen from earth?
Distance from Earth, size of star, and temperature of star.
What factors determine a stars brightness seen from earth?
Distance from Earth, size of star, and temperature of star.
What are three physical factors that determine a star's brightness?
Age of the star, size, and temperature. The answer is in another post that I saw.
How can you determine if a number is prime by looking at the factors of the number?
A prime number only has two factors. If the number you're looking at has more than two factors, it is not prime.
Why does it make sense to multiply the numbers in the middle of the Venn Diagram to determine the GCF of a pair of numbers?
Factors multiply. The numbers in the middle of the Venn diagram are common factors. If there are two or more, their product will give you the greatest common factor.
How can you determine if a number is a prime composite or neither by looking at all of the numbers e factors of a number?
By looking at its factor patterns.
What two factors determine how bright a star looks from earth?
The two factors are temperature and luminosity based on the HR diagram. The stage of the star in its life cycle also plays a key part.
Does a perfect square number have and even or odd number of distinct factors show how you determine your answer?
Odd. I determined my answer by looking at the number of factors of a square number.
What other factors determines the brightness of a star?
Composition and distance.
How can you determine whether the gcf of two numbers is one by looking at their prime factorizations?
If there are no prime factors in common, the GCF is 1.
What are the 2 factors that brightness of a star is determined by?
How dense it is, and how far away it is.
