Question

1. how does the initial mass of a star relate to its surface temperature and luminosity? explain. (1 point) a.

Explanation:

More massive stars have stronger gravitational - contraction. This leads to higher core temperatures and pressures, enabling more intense nuclear fusion reactions. As a result, they have higher surface temperatures and greater luminosities.

Answer:

More massive stars generally have higher surface temperatures and greater luminosities due to more intense nuclear fusion caused by stronger gravitational contraction.
