Examine the image of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
The H-R Diagram. The y axis shows Luminosity in solar units increasing in increments of the power of 1 from 10 from bottom to top. The x axis shows Surface Temperature in Kelvin, decreasing from left to right. Supergiants are yellow white, luminosity between 10 superscript 4 solar units and 10 superscript 5 solar units. Main is blue white, luminosity 10 superscript 4. Sequence is blue white, luminosity 10 superscript 3. Giants are red and orange, luminosity between 10 superscript 2 and 10 superscript 3. Sun is yellow, luminosity between 1
and 10. AB Doradus C is red, luminosity 10 superscript negative 3. White Dwarfs are blue, blue white, white, yellow white, and yellow, luminosity from 1 to 10 superscript negative 4.
