What two caracteristics of a star are plotted on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram?

The two characteristics of a star plotted on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram are luminosity (brightness) on the y-axis and temperature or spectral type on the x-axis. This diagram helps astronomers classify stars according to their different stages of evolution.


Who were Enjar Hertzsprung and Henry Russell?

Enjar Hertzsprung lived in 1873-1967 and Henry Russell lived in 1877-1957. They were scientists who worked separtely. They found the same answer about the temperature and color of stars. The diagram that they made is called the Hertzsprung-Russell diargram. It shows the connection between surface temperature and color.The discoverers of the famous Hertzsprung-Russel diagram (HR diagram), which turned out to be an important tool for the analysis of stars.
