ANSWER:

The luminosity of a star is closely related to its temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Luminosity is the light or the "total amount of light energy" that a "star emits" into space.
  • "Luminosity of a star" is dependent on the temperature and thus these two properties are closely related to each other.
  • The "color of the star" is also closely related to its "surface temperature".
  • Star that has a bright color and shines more is said to have a high temperature as compared to stars that shine less brightly and have a dull color.
