I think you are referring to what astronomers call magnitude, which is defined in several different ways.
Apparent magnitude is how bright a star looks compared to others. The dimmest stars we can see with the naked eye in good conditions are magnitude 6, and the brightest ones are about 1. Really bright objects like some of the planets have negative magnitude.
Absolute magnitude is a way to compare how bright stars really are, because the apparent magnitude is affected by their distance from us. It's the magnitude the star would have if it were exactly ten parsecs away.
Bolometric magnitude is more complex, but is an attempt to quantify the star's luminosity over all wavelengths, not just those we can see.

When the absolute magnitudes or brightnesses of stars are plotted against their surface temperatures or colors we obtain what?
This is usually called the Hertsprung-Russell diagram.
How are stars brightness compared to each other?
Astronomers use the term magnitude to compare the brightnesses of stars. Really bright stars are 1st magnitude while the faintest we can see with the naked eye are about magnitude 6. A 12 inch telescope can see down to about magnitude 14 or 15. Hubble Space Telescope can see down to about magnitude 27.

Which constellation has three stars in a row?
A few constellations have three stars in a row. The most famous one is probably Orion the Hunter - three stars in a row make up his belt. This constellation is visible in winter in the Northern Hemisphere and the summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Another constellation with three stars in a row is Scorpius the scorpion - only instead of the three stars being horizontal, the three stars are vertical and just to the right of Antares, the Scorpion's heart.
What is a monochromatic colour scheme?
One that uses different shades and brightnesses of the same colour to produce a picture.

What is the ratio of apparent brightnesses for two stars if m A equals 7 and m B equals 5?
(7 - 5) = 2 magnitudesEach magnitude represents the ratio = 6th root of 100.2 magnitudes = (6th root of 100)2 = (cube root of 100) = ratio of 4.642 (rounded)
