What else can I help you with?
Is spectral type k hotter then spectral type a?
No. K spectral type stars (which are orange) temperature is ranging from 5,000-3,500. A spectral type stars (which are blue-white) temperature is ranging from 7,500-11,000.
What type of relationship is shown on a HR diagram?
It is a chart showing a scatter chart of stars according to their temperature and their luminosity (or absolute magnitude).
What is plotted on the horizontal axis of an H-R diagram?
If you mean a Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, which plots stars color, temperature, and absolute magnitude (see related link), then it looks like color and spectral class (temperature) are plotted on horizontal, and Absolute Magnitude/Lumenoscity are plotted on the vertical.
Which list shows stars in order of increasing surface temperaturs?
To list stars in order of increasing surface temperatures, you would typically arrange them as follows: M-type (red dwarfs), K-type (orange stars), G-type (yellow stars, like the Sun), F-type (white stars), A-type (blue-white stars), and finally, B-type (blue stars). This sequence reflects the spectral classification of stars based on their temperatures, with M-type stars being the coolest and B-type stars being the hottest.
Are all stars the same temperature?
no
In main-sequence stars how does brightness relate to temperature?
The brightness is very similar to the temperature, the brightness relies on the temperature
Relate the stellar temperature to the classification of a star?
Stellar classification is based on the analysis of light from stars. The temperature from the photosphere of the star effects the amount and types of ions and this is used classifying the star.
Is spectral type k hotter then spectral type a?
No. K spectral type stars (which are orange) temperature is ranging from 5,000-3,500. A spectral type stars (which are blue-white) temperature is ranging from 7,500-11,000.
What does and H-R diagram relate a star's temperature to?
The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (H-R diagram) shows the relationship between absolute magnitude, luminosity, classification, and effective temperature of stars. The diagram as originally conceived displayed the spectral type (effectively the surface temperature) of stars on the horizontal axis and the absolute magnitude (their intrinsic brightness) on the vertical axis.
How hot is a K type star?
A K type star has a surface temperature ranging from about 3,500 to 5,000 degrees Celsius. It is cooler than stars with earlier spectral types (such as O, B, and A stars) but hotter than stars with later spectral types (such as M stars).
What characteristic is not used to classify stars?
One characteristic that is not used to classify stars is their specific location in the galaxy. While stars are classified based on properties such as temperature, luminosity, and spectral type, their position within the Milky Way or other galaxies does not play a role in their classification. Instead, classification focuses on intrinsic properties that relate to their physical characteristics and evolutionary stages.
What are the hottest and coolest stars?
the temperature of red star is minimum and maximum for blue stars . our sun is yellow colored therefore red stars are coolest than our sun . Take the example of Wolf 359 (a type of red dwarf star ) located in the constellation Leo . the temperature of photosphere of this star is about 2800 kelvin and the temperature of sun's photosphere is 5778 kelvin ( effected )
Which star has the highest surface temperature?
The star with the highest surface temperature is the blue star called O-type stars. These stars can have surface temperatures exceeding 50,000 degrees Celsius.
What type of star has a low surface temperature and a high luminosity?
Yellow stars with low strength hydrogen lines. This type includes the modern "G" and "K" types and the old "F" type, and among the stars of this type: the sun and arthropods.
Which stage in a stars evolution is it hottest?
The stars with an A-type spectrum are the hottest common stars, but early-stage stars with a B-type spectrum are even hotter. The order of temperature is B-A-F-G-K-M for common stars. The M-type stars are the coolest common stars and they definitely look red, e.g. Antares, Betelgeuse. Remember the order by learning this: Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me!
How does altitude relate to temperature?
The higher the altitude the lower the temperature.
What does an h-r diagram relate a stars temperature to?
The temperature is displayed along the horizontal axis while the vertical axis is the star's absolute magnitude. So the HR diagram is a scatter diagram relating temperature and brightness, and eah star occupies one point.
