Describe the relationship between the concept of hydrostatic equilibrium and the interior structure of a star.
Stars found on the main sequence of a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram share certain features not shared by other stars. What are these features? A Stars on the main sequence of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram are all roughly the same radius. Stars on the main sequence of a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram do not produce heavy elements like iron. Stars on the main sequence of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram have an orderly arrangement of stellar masses, decreasing in mass from lower right to upper left. Stars on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram main sequence have roughly the same age. Stars on the main sequence of a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram all generate energy from nuclear fusion. B D E F) None of the mentioned choices. 4
Question 41 .Suppose you are looking at H-R diagrams of two similar star clusters. The most luminous main sequence stars in the Porcini cluster are much more luminous than the most luminous main sequence stars in the Morel cluster. What can you conclude? O the Porcini cluster is younger than the Morel cluster O the Porcini cluster is farther away than the Morel cluster O the Porcini cluster is lower in metallicity than the Morel cluster O the Porcini cluster is larger in diameter than the Morel cluster
