  • @TH1GUY1324 thats all i listened to

  • HOY

    

  • Very well explained :)

  • @Aljon1000 at any given point in a star's life it occupies a point on the diagram according to it's temperature and luminosity. the graphs are made of a large sample of stars in a cluster.

  • Thank you so much ! This video helped me clarify things easily, and the thing is im only in grade 9 physics and already doing stuff like this. But i know it will pay off. You are a really good profesor, but how do you graph stars ? Because i really dont understand graphing stars since my teacher doesnt teach very well.

  • You are really amazing doctor.

  • Aha thank youu.......THIS makes sense XD

  • this was helpful but how do you apply it? is it a computer program or can you use it on paper? and do you need a telescope or can you use it with the naked eye?

  • wow.....thankyou soo much....way better than my professor!!

  • @prettyboybn

    Yes, exactly!

    x-axis is not just a funny way of representing temperature and colour. It's just the normal visible E-M spectrum sequence. Short to long frequency.
