What type of star has an absolute brightness of 5 and a surface temperature around 3,000 °C?


Select one:
a. Supergiant
b. Giant
c. Main sequence
d. Dwarf

Respuesta :

The answer is A : Supergiants

In the above graph absolute brightness is marked on y-axis and surface temperature is marked on x-axis.

To find out what type of star has an absolute brightness of 5 and a surface temperature around 3,000 °C, we will draw a straight line from x axis which represents a temperature of 3,000 °C and another straight line from y-axis which represents absolute brightness of 5.

From the attached graph we can see that these 2 lines meet in the region shown by Supergiants

Therefore we can say that, Supergiants has an absolute brightness of 5 and a surface temperature around 3,000 °C
