As a star's size increases, its luminosity **typically increases**. Larger stars have a greater surface area, allowing them to emit more light and energy.
As a star's temperature **increases**, its luminosity also **increases**. According to the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, luminosity is proportional to the fourth power of the temperature (L ∝ T⁴), meaning that even small increases in temperature can lead to significant increases in luminosity.
So, to summarize:
- As a star's size increases, its luminosity increases.
- As a star's temperature increases, its luminosity increases.
As a star's temperature **increases**, its luminosity also **increases**. According to the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, luminosity is proportional to the fourth power of the temperature (L ∝ T⁴), meaning that even small increases in temperature can lead to significant increases in luminosity.
So, to summarize:
- As a star's size increases, its luminosity increases.
