The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, or H-R diagram, was created in 1911 by Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Norris Russell. They plotted the luminosity of stars against their surface temperature to classify and study stellar populations. This diagram revolutionized our understanding of stars and their life cycles.
The H-R diagram compares a star's surface temperature to its absolute brightness.
A black hole does not appear on an H-R diagram. An H-R diagram is a scatter plot of stars based on their luminosity and temperature. Black holes are objects with extreme gravitational forces, not visible light output.
The H-R diagram is a graphical tool used to classify stars according to color, temperature, spectral type, luminosity, and evolutionary stage. H-R stands for Hertzsprung-Russell.

An H-R diagram compares the luminosity (brightness) of stars with their surface temperature. It helps classify stars based on their temperature and luminosity, allowing astronomers to study their characteristics and evolution.
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.
