"Luminous" in this context means "bright" - how much light (or how much energy in general) does the star emit. Note that stars look dim to us only because they are far away - some of them are actually several times brighter than our Sun, in absolute terms. That is, if you would see several stars, and our Sun, at a same standard distance, some stars would be dimmer, but others would be brighter, than our Sun.
because the star is luminous.
There's only one star that we call 'Betelgeuse', and that one is very highly luminous.
Yes luminous actually for a star to get hotter.
'cause the star is self luminous and the planet is not .
A star is a luminous globe of hot gas that makes energy.
Luminosity is related to temperature and distance.A cool and thus less luminous star would be brighter than a more luminous star at a greater distance.Our Sun is a relatively cool star in comparison to say Rigel, but because it is closer it appears more luminous and brighter.
A star is a massive, luminous ball of plasma.
Pollux
star
Depends on how you define power. If we take it as transferring energy then it will have to be the most luminous. So the most luminous star known in the Universe is R136a1
EVERY star, no matter what size, is luminous; it gives off light.
Star as in a luminous point in the sky - "stea" Star as in a famous person - "vedetă"
