Question

The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram shows the spectral class of stars across the top, the temperature in Kellvin of stars across the bottom. The luminosity of stars, with the luminosity of the Sun equal to one, on the right, and the absolute magnitude of stars on the right. Blue giants, red supergiants, red giants, main sequence stars, the Sun, and white dwarfs are shown on the diagram.

Which type of star is in spectral class K and has a luminosity of 106?

Answer 1

In the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, a star in spectral class K is typically categorized as a red giant. Given that the question specifies a luminosity of 10^6, this aligns more closely with the characteristics of a red giant star rather than the other options provided.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

red giant
