Question

examine the image of the hertzsprung - russell diagram. which characteristic describes the stars indicated by the arrow in the image? cool hot large small

Explanation:

In the Hertzsprung - Russell diagram, the horizontal axis represents surface temperature. The stars indicated by the arrow are located on the lower - temperature (right) side of the diagram. Cool stars have lower surface temperatures, which aligns with their position. Hot stars would be on the left (higher temperature) side. The vertical axis is luminosity. Large stars (giants or supergiants) are in different regions (higher luminosity), and small stars (like white dwarfs) are in another distinct area. So, based on the position on the temperature axis, the characteristic is cool.

Answer:

cool
