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 is a graph that shows relationship between a stars magnitude and temperature?

The Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram is a graph that shows the relationship between a star's magnitude (luminosity) and temperature. It plots stars based on their color (temperature) and brightness (magnitude), allowing astronomers to classify stars and understand their evolutionary stage.

The answer to this question is Hertzsprung-Russell diagram


Can you extend the concept to figure out what elements are in stars?

Scientists can determine the elements in stars by analyzing the light they emit. This light, called a spectrum, shows specific lines that correspond to elements present in the star's atmosphere. By comparing these spectral lines to known wavelengths of elements on Earth, scientists can identify the elements present in stars.


What does horizon axis mean?

The horizon axis is the line in a graph that represents the range or domain of the data being plotted. It is typically the horizontal axis, also known as the x-axis, and shows the independent variable in a mathematical relationship.
