What type of relationship is shown on a HR diagram?
It is a chart showing a scatter chart of stars according to their temperature and their luminosity (or absolute magnitude).
What is the largest star in the hr diagram?
For a long times, it was considered to be VY Canis Majoris, but new studies have reduced its size. The present record is held by UY Scuti at 1708 times the diameter of the Sun. That works out to about 2,250,000,000km.
Why is absolute magnitude stars used in the HR diagram?
The equation for the magnitude of a star is; M=m-5log(d/10) where:M - Absolute magnitude (The brightness of a star viewed 10 parsecs away)m - Apparent magnitude (The brightness of a star as viewed from Earth)d - Distance from the star (Pc)
The objects in our solar system orbit what celestial body?
They orbit an average star at an average distance from the centre of the milky way, which has an average G2 spectrum and a very average absolute magnitude of +4.7. It occupies a very average position on the HR diagram.
Will a very bright star on the HR diagram most likely have positive or negative magnitude?
Positive - most of them are far away.
What graph shows the relationship of a stars absolute magnitude and its temperature?
Its called an HR diagram or a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
What are the two ways you can classify stars?
The two ways are by their surface temperature (spectrum) and by their absolute magnitude (intrinsic brightness). The HR diagram has spectrum along the horizontal axis and absolute magnitude along the vertical axis. Each star occupies a point in the HR diagram.
What type of relationship is shown on a HR diagram?
It is a chart showing a scatter chart of stars according to their temperature and their luminosity (or absolute magnitude).
What is a graph that shows the relatonship between stars surface temperature and its absolute magnitude?
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.
How can stars be classified using the hertz sprung Russell diagram?
On the HR diagram each star occupies a single point, depending on its surface temperature (horizontal) and its absolute magnitude (vertical).
What is the largest star in the hr diagram?
For a long times, it was considered to be VY Canis Majoris, but new studies have reduced its size. The present record is held by UY Scuti at 1708 times the diameter of the Sun. That works out to about 2,250,000,000km.
What kind of graph graph that shows the relationship of a star's temperature to its absolute magnitude?
That is called the HR diagram (Hertzsprung Russell) and the temperature is along the horizontal axis while the vertical axis is the star's absolute magnitude. Each star has a fixed point in this diagram, and it shows that most stars belong in a broad band on the left called the Main Sequence.
What does the HR diagram depict?
The HR diagram, also known as the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, depicts the relationship between the luminosity and temperature of stars. It shows how stars are distributed in terms of their brightness and temperature, allowing astronomers to classify stars based on these characteristics.
What does an H-R diagram relate a star's temperature to?
The temperature is displayed along the horizontal axis while the vertical axis is the star's absolute magnitude. So the HR diagram is a scatter diagram relating temperature and brightness, and eah star occupies one point.
What does an h-r diagram relate a stars temperature to?
The temperature is displayed along the horizontal axis while the vertical axis is the star's absolute magnitude. So the HR diagram is a scatter diagram relating temperature and brightness, and eah star occupies one point.
Why is absolute magnitude stars used in the HR diagram?
The equation for the magnitude of a star is; M=m-5log(d/10) where:M - Absolute magnitude (The brightness of a star viewed 10 parsecs away)m - Apparent magnitude (The brightness of a star as viewed from Earth)d - Distance from the star (Pc)
What class would a star belong to if it's absolute magnitude was 6 and its surface temperature is 20000 c?
If we check the HR-Diagram [See related link] we will see that no type of star exists with these parameters. However, if the absolute magnitude was -6 (note minus) it would have a stellar class of about B5 and will have the colour blue-white -> blue. It will be a Ia supergiant.
