How is the sun different in size and temperature from a star?
It isn't. The sun is a star and there are others that are similar in size and temperature.
What star that is very similar to sun?
Alpha Centauri is the nearest star that we can see and it is almost the same size and age as the Sun.
What luminosity of a star is related to its?
The luminosity of a star is related to its surface temperature and size. Hotter stars with larger surface areas tend to have higher luminosities, while cooler stars with smaller surface areas have lower luminosities.
How does earth like another star?
To find an Earth-like planet around another star, scientists search for planets that orbit in the "habitable zone" where conditions are just right for liquid water to exist on the surface. They use telescopes to detect the planet's size, orbit, and composition, looking for similarities to Earth such as a rocky surface and the presence of water. Host stars are also studied to determine if they are similar to our Sun in age, size, and composition.
How is the sun described in the milky way as an average yellow star?
The Sun is a mid-sized, average yellow star in the Milky Way galaxy. It is classified as a G-type main-sequence star, with a surface temperature of around 5,500 degrees Celsius. Its luminosity and size place it comfortably within the range of other similar stars in our galaxy.

It isn't. The sun is a star and there are others that are similar in size and temperature.
What does the sun erupting mean?
There are huge (several times the size of the earth) storms on the surface of the Sun, sometimes these cause gigantic flares to expand out from the surface of the star into space. These "flares" are said to "erupt".
Is the size of a star the only factor that setermines its absolute magnitude?
No. I assume you mean the star's diameter. The area is proportional to the square of the area - so the bigger the star, the brighter it will be - other things being equal. However, the star's surface temperature also affects its brightness.
What affects the luminosity of stars?
There are 2 main factors: the size of the star and its surface temperature. A larger size means a larger surface area to emit light. A higher surface temperature increases the energy emitted. Seen from Earth, the brightness of a star depends on how far away the star is as well as its actual luminosity.
When a star collapses to half size what does the gravitational field at its surface do?
When a star collapses to half its size, its gravitational field at the surface increases. This is because the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the star and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the object. As the star collapses, its mass remains the same but the distance to its center decreases, leading to a stronger gravitational field at its surface.
If you know the surface temperature anf brightness of a star then you can find?
You find its size.
Why a giant star that is cooler than your sun similar to Aldebaran has a greater luminosity than the sun?
A giant star like Aldebaran is much larger in size than the Sun, which allows it to emit more light despite having a cooler surface temperature. Luminosity depends not only on temperature but also on the star's surface area; a larger surface area enables it to radiate more energy overall. Therefore, even though Aldebaran is cooler, its significant size contributes to its greater luminosity compared to the Sun.
What star is very similar to sun?
Alpha Centauri is the nearest star that we can see and it is almost the same size and age as the Sun.

What is the surface temperature of the star acubens?
The surface temperature of the star Acubens, also known as Alpha Cancri, is approximately 5,800 Kelvin. This temperature classifies it as a G-type main-sequence star, similar to our Sun. Acubens is located in the constellation Cancer and is part of a binary star system.
