Difference between Astronomy and Hertzsprung–Russell diagram

Astronomy vs. Hertzsprung–Russell diagram

Astronomy (from ἀστρονομία) is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. The Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, abbreviated H–R diagram, HR diagram or HRD, is a scatter plot of stars showing the relationship between the stars' absolute magnitudes or luminosities versus their stellar classifications or effective temperatures.

Similarities between Astronomy and Hertzsprung–Russell diagram

Astronomy and Hertzsprung–Russell diagram have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Apparent magnitude, Astrophysics, Cosmic distance ladder, Galaxy, Hydrogen, Main sequence, Metallicity, Nuclear fusion, Open cluster, Proper motion, Spectral line, Star, Star cluster, Stellar classification, Stellar evolution.

Apparent magnitude

The apparent magnitude of a celestial object is a number that is a measure of its brightness as seen by an observer on Earth.

Astrophysics

Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that employs the principles of physics and chemistry "to ascertain the nature of the astronomical objects, rather than their positions or motions in space".

Cosmic distance ladder

The cosmic distance ladder (also known as the extragalactic distance scale) is the succession of methods by which astronomers determine the distances to celestial objects.

Nuclear fusion

In nuclear physics, nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come close enough to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons).

Open cluster

An open cluster is a group of up to a few thousand stars that were formed from the same giant molecular cloud and have roughly the same age.

Proper motion

Proper motion is the astronomical measure of the observed changes in the apparent places of stars or other celestial objects in the sky, as seen from the center of mass of the Solar System, compared to the abstract background of the more distant stars.

Spectral line

A spectral line is a dark or bright line in an otherwise uniform and continuous spectrum, resulting from emission or absorption of light in a narrow frequency range, compared with the nearby frequencies.
