In terms of absolute magnitude, a larger hotter star will necessarily be more luminous than a smaller cooler star. However, if a smaller cooler star is much closer to us than a larger hotter star, it may appear to be brighter. None of this has anything to do with the HR diagram.

How does the mass of a star relate to the time it stays on the Hertzsprung Russell diagram?

The mass of a star affects its location and lifespan on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. Generally, more massive stars are hotter, brighter, and have shorter lifespans, while less massive stars are cooler, dimmer, and have longer lifespans. The relationship between mass and time on the diagram is intricately linked to the star's fusion processes and how it evolves over its lifetime.


Why do cool stars have greater luminosity than our sun?

They do not necessarily have greater luminosity, it depends on their size. Betelgeuse is cooler and brighter; a red dwarf is cooler and less bright.

Which is brighter larger stars or smaller stars?

Brightness is related to distance. However, from the same distance, an O class star is much much brighter than a M class star. As a comparison, an O class star would appear about 100,000 times brighter than our Sun, whereas a M class star could appear 0.0017 dimmer than our Sun, if the Sun was replaced with each star.
