That is called the Hertzsprung-Russell or HR diagram and each star occupies a point. The horizontal axis is temperature and the vertical axis is the absolute magnitude.

What does the HR diagram depict?
the relationship between a star's luminosity, temperature, absolute magnitude, and spectral type.
A graph that shows the relationship between a star's absolute magnitude and temperature is a?
The answer to this question is Hertzsprung-Russell diagram
What range of the H-R diagram is your Sun placed in because its temperature and absolute magnitude are average?
between the yellow stage color on the digram
What of a number is the distance on the number line between the number and 0?
the absolute value
What is the difference between apparent magnitude and surface magnitude?
The two types are apparent magnitude, the magnitude of a star as it appears to us, and absolute magnitude, which is what a star's apparent magnitude would be at a standard distance of ten parsecs.
What graph shows the relationship between a star's surface temperature and it's absolute magnitude?
You need to do this. It is homework and we don't have the graph . You teacher is looking for your critical thinking skills and not ours.
Which stars always have large positive absolute magnitude?
Does it mean that the star is a main sequesnce star? ( . Y . ) The above isn't true. A star can be a blue supergiant and be on the main sequence but still not be even visible to us, therefore the apparent and absolute magnitude wouldn't be the same. But to answer your question, I don't think it has a name, it just means that you are seeing the star's absolute and apparent magnitude at the same time, so if you placed the star at 32.6 light years away(the absolute magnitude scale)then the star would not appear to change in brightness
Where would a black hole be located on an h r diagram?
A Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is a scatter graph that can be used to plot the relationship between the absolute magnitude (i.e. luminosity) of a star versus it's spectral type / classification and effective temperature. Since a black hole does not have an absolute magnitude, spectral type, or an effective temperature, it cannot be located on an H-R diagram.
What is the difference between kelvin and absolute kelvin?
Kelvin is the absolute temperature - a temperature where absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible, is defined as zero. Therefore, in the phrase "absolute Kelvin", the word "absolute" seems redundant.
The distance on a number line between a number and zero is the?
Magnitude or absolute value of the number.
What the relationship between magnitude and size of the star?
The brightness of a star depends on its temperature, size and distance from the earth. The measure of a star's brightness is called its magnitude. Bright stars are first magnitude stars. Second magnitude stars are dimmer. The larger the magnitude number, the dimmer is the star.The magnitude of stars may be apparent or absolute.
What is a disadvantage of absolute magnitude?
I assume you mean the absolute magnitude (brightness) of stars. The problem with this is that it can't be directly measured. What astronomers can measure is the apparent magnitude. To make conclusions about the absolute magnitude, they would also have to know the distance to the star, as well as data about extinction, i.e., how much dust and gas there is between us and the start which may make the light look fainter. Note that the absolute magnitude is very important to characterize a star - but it may be difficult to calculate it with much precision.
