Question
multiple choice 1 point the following is true about main sequence stars: the hotter the star, the brighter the redder the star, the hotter the cooler the star, the brighter brighter stars are closer than 10 parsecs while dwarfs
For main sequence stars, the Hertzsprung - Russell (HR) diagram shows that temperature (related to color/hotness) and luminosity (brightness) are correlated. Hotter main sequence stars (like O, B types) are more luminous (brighter) because they fuse hydrogen at a faster rate, producing more energy. Redder stars are cooler, and cooler main sequence stars are less bright. The distance of a star isn't determined solely by brightness (since brightness also depends on luminosity). So "the hotter the star, the brighter the star" holds for main sequence stars.
