What is true about the absolute magnitude and temperature of supergiant stars?

Absolute magnitude: they are extremely bright. Temperature: their surface temperature is fairly low.


What is a graph that shows the relatonship between stars surface temperature and its absolute magnitude?

That is called the Hertzsprung-Russell or HR diagram and each star occupies a point. The horizontal axis is temperature and the vertical axis is the absolute magnitude.


What are stars with low magnitude low temperature and low absolute magnitude?

This probably refers to red dwarves. The apparent magnitude depends on the distance, as well as the absolute magnitude, but even the closest red dwarves can't be seen with the naked eye.


What is the absolute magnitude of the constellation scorpius?

Constellations don't have an absolute magnitude. That is a property of individual stars.


What graph shows the relationship of a stars absolute magnitude and its temperature?

Its called an HR diagram or a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.


As shown in a Hertzsprung-Russel diagram the main-sequence stars are defined according to their?

Absolute magnitude and surface temperature


Why is the absolute magnitude of some stars greatar than their apparent magnitude?

The question is: Why is the apparent magnitude of some stars less than their absolute magnitude. Or: Why do some stars not look as bright as they really are ? The answer is: Because they're so far away from us.

As shown in a H-R diagram the main-sequence stars are defined according to their?

They are defined by their absolute magnitude and surface temperature.


Explain why size is the only factor that determines the stars absolute magnitude?

The absolute magnitude is a measure of the star's luminosity hence the smaller the size the less the absolute magnitude.


What is absolute magnitude of most yellow stars?

Most "yellow" stars fall into the classification of type G - the same as our Sun.They have an absolute magnitude of around 5.
