There is no relationship.

A massive star is generally cooler but a large hot star can still exist.

How are stars classified by size and temperature?

Stars are classified by size using the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, which categorizes them based on luminosity and temperature. Stars are sorted into main sequence, giant, supergiant, or dwarf categories. Temperature determines a star's color, with hotter stars appearing blue-white and cooler stars appearing red.


What is the relationship between the color and the temperature of star?

The relationship is that the color is an indication of the star's surface temperature. For example, red stars are cooler, while blue stars are hotter. You can find more details in the Wikipedia article "Stellar classification".


What information does the color of a star provide?

The color of a star provides information about its temperature. Blue stars are hotter than yellow stars, which are hotter than red stars. This color-temperature relationship helps astronomers understand the life cycle and characteristics of stars.


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.


Does the H-R diagram classify stars by the amount of heat they create?

The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (H-R diagram) is a graph of stars showing the stars' luminosities or absolute magnitude versus their spectral type which is related to their effective temperature.
