What do astronomers compare stars to?

1 answer

Astronomers typically compare stars to other stars or to known standards, such as the Sun. This comparison helps astronomers classify stars according to their properties, such as their temperature, luminosity, size, and evolutionary stage. By comparing stars to one another, astronomers can better understand the nature and behavior of different types of stars and their place in the universe.
