Rigel's H-R Diagram
H-R Diagram
The Hertzsprung–Russell diagram is a scatter graph of stars showing the relationship between the stars' absolute magnitudes or luminosity versus their spectral types or classifications and effective temperatures. Hertzprung-Russell diagrams are not pictures or maps of the locations of the stars. Which is basically saying the H-R diagram is a diagram shows the brightness, temperature, and size of the stars.
