Question

the temperature of a star is 6000k and its luminosity is 1000. which type of star is it?
a. white dwarf
b. main sequence star
c. giant
d. supergiant

Explanation:

• First, locate the temperature \(6000K\) on the horizontal axis (temperature axis) of the Hertzsprung - Russell (H - R) diagram.
• Then, find the luminosity value of \(1000\) on the vertical axis (luminosity axis).
• By cross - referencing these two values on the diagram, we can see that the point falls in the "giant" region of the H - R diagram.

Answer:

C. giant
