Answer:

Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

MASS: range from 0.08 times the suns mass (0.08 M of sun) to 150 times the suns mass (150 M of sun)

Luminosity: range from 1/10,000 the Sun's luminosity (10^-4 L of sun) to 1 million times the Sun's luminosity (10^6 L of sun)

Surface Temperature: range from 3000 K (M stars) to 40,000 K (O stars)

diameter: 10% the size of the sun and 20 times larger.
