HR Diagram
... It has been shown through observational data of many stars that the more massive a star, the more luminous it is. If you observe the H-R diagram on the cover of the lab, it is clear that there are fewer luminous stars as compared to the less luminous ones. In terms of the diagram, there are more sta ...
