The H R Diagram Hertzsprung - Russel
Some stars are very big, others are very small. Some are very hot and some are much cooler. Some are very bright and some are much dimmer. A chart which helps us understand what different types of star there are and how they evolve
Looking at the colour from stars tells us how hot they are Oh Be AFine Girl Kiss Me

Most stars are found somewhere on here, including our Sun.

This shows the life cycle of our Sun.

The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram (a.k.a. H-R Diagram)

The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram (a.k.a. H-R Diagram). Star Classification. Stars can be classified in three ways: Size – How massive the star is Temperature – A stars color reveals its temperature. Red stars have a cooler temperature, and blue stars have a warmer temperature.

The H-R Diagram

The H-R Diagram. In 1913, the American astronomer Henry Russel plotted the luminosities of stars versus their spectra class (related to the temperature). Similar to work done in 1911 by Danish astronomer Ejnar Hertzsprung They found that the luminosities and temperatures of star are related
