from my text book:

"The most luminous stars are so rare you find few in your survey region. There are no O stars at all within 62 PC of Earth.

Lower-main-sequence M stars, called red dwarfs, and white dwarfs are so faint they are hard to locate even when they are only a few parsecs from earth."

What are different sizes or stars?

Stars can be classified into different sizes based on their mass and luminosity. The most common sizes are dwarf stars (like our Sun), giant stars (larger and more luminous than the Sun), and supergiant stars (the largest and most luminous stars, like Betelgeuse and Rigel). There are also intermediate sizes like subgiant stars.


What sequence of stars is listed in order of increasing luminosity?

The sequence of stars listed in order of increasing luminosity typically includes red dwarfs, main-sequence stars (like our Sun), giant stars, and supergiant stars. Red dwarfs are the least luminous, followed by main-sequence stars, then giant stars, and finally supergiants, which are the most luminous. This order reflects the increasing energy output and size of the stars as they evolve.


What color are very heavy stars?

Are stars luminescent?

Strictly speaking, no; stars are incandescent (light resulting from heat) as opposed to luminscent (light resulting from non-thermal based effects). One might, however, safely describe stars as "luminous" in a metaporical sense.

Are stars luminous or non luminous?

All things, except black holes, are luminous. That includes stars. You might think that some other things are not luminous but that's because you can't see the kinds of light that they emit.


Are all nebulae luminous?

Technically, no nebulae are luminous. The ones that appear as such have stars either within or near them, and the nebulae merely reflect the light emitted by these stars.
