Astronomy Briefly explain what evidence we can use to learn about the lives of stars even though their lives are far longer than human lives. Why do HR diagrams look different for star clusters of different ages? How do we use the diagram to determine the age of the cluster? How can we estimate how much longer the lifetime of a low-mass star is than the lifetime of a high-mass star? How do we use parallax to measure the distance to stars? Explain the inverse square law for light. If we know the distance to a star, how do we find its luminosity? If we know the luminosity of a star, how do we find the distance? What are apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude? How do they relate to apparent brightness and luminosity? What is meant by spectral type? What spectral type is the hottest? Which is the coolest? What is meant by luminosity class? What are the three basic types of binary stars?
