Difference between Andromeda Galaxy and Red clump

Andromeda Galaxy vs. Red clump

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs (2.5 million light-years) from Earth, and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. The red clump is a clustering of red giants in the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram at around 5,000 K and absolute magnitude (MV) +0.5, slightly hotter than most red-giant-branch stars of the same luminosity.

Similarities between Andromeda Galaxy and Red clump

Andromeda Galaxy and Red clump have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Absolute magnitude, Apparent magnitude, Globular cluster, Luminosity, Metallicity, Omega Centauri, Red giant, Tip of the red-giant branch.
