Name: Date: Student Exploration: H-R Diagram Vocabulary: giant, H-R diagram, luminosity, main sequence, star, supergiant, white dwarf Gizmo Warm-up In the early 1900s, astronomers identified many star characteristics such as color, size, temperature, and luminosity—or how bright a star is. Using the H-R Diagram Gizmo, you will discover how some of these characteristics are related. Start by moving your cursor over the stars in the Star collection. Star information is d...
