Lesson 2: Hertzsprung Russell Diagram Worksheet Questions: 1. What color are the hottest stars? Blue 2. What color are the coolest stars? Red 3. Which stars are the smallest? White Dwarfs 4. Which stars are the largest? Supergiants 5. Which stars are the brightest? Blue (main-sequence or supergiants) 6. Which stars are the dimmest? White Dwarfs 7. What classification of star is the hottest? Blue Supergiants 8. What classification of star is the coolest? Red (main-sequence or giants) 9. What classification is our Sun? Main Sequence Star 10. What color is our Sun? Yellow 11. Compared to other stars what is the Suns temp? Average (~5000 K) 12. Where does the Sun fit in this diagram? Yellow, along main-sequence Lesson 2: Hertzsprung Russell Diagram Worksheet 13. What is the color of the hottest stars? Blue and White 14. Which classification of star has the most energy? Blue and White (also, hottest) a. How is a star’s temperature related to its energy? The hotter the star, the more energy it has b. How is a star’s magnitude related to its energy? Along the main sequence, stars of greater magnitude are hotter (have more energy) c. How is a star’s luminosity related to its energy? For main-sequence stars, the luminosity increases with temperature. For the giants and super-giants, large (high magnitude) and luminous stars are actually quite cool. d. Hypothesize what classification of stars are at the beginning of their life cycle and which are at the end of their life cycle? Hotter stars are younger, cooler stars are older. Giants and super-giants are dying. White dwarfs are also at the end of a life cycle. The mainsequence stars show a strong relation between temperature (energy) and magnitude and brightness—the hotter ones of these are younger.
