Question

instructions: use the diagram on the previous page to complete the table below. label the stars in the diagram with the corresponding letter. then answer the questions.

star letter	temperature	luminosity	color	type of star
b	20,000 k	$10^9$
c	20,000 k	$10^{-2}$
d	2,500 k	$10^6$
e	4000 k	$10^7$

1. what is the approximate surface temperature of the sun?

1. is the surface temperature of a white dwarf star higher or lower than a red supergiant?

1. what is the color of the stars with the highest surface temperature? how about the lowest surface temperature?

Explanation:

The problem references a diagram (not provided) to complete a star table and answer questions about star properties. Since the diagram (likely an HR diagram) is missing, key data for the table (color, type of star) cannot be determined, and some questions rely on connecting table values to star types which requires the diagram.

Answer:

1. Cannot be answered without the diagram (though the Sun's approximate surface temperature is ~5500-6000 K, but the question may tie to the table's star A which is 6000 K).
2. Cannot be answered without the diagram (needs star type labels from the table).
3. Cannot be answered without the diagram (needs color data from the table).

Table completion: Color and Type of Star columns cannot be filled without the diagram.
