Question

According to the hertzsprung russel diagram what is the luminosity of the sun

Answer 1

The H-R diagram shows the Sun's luminosity as 1, which is used as a standard for comparing the luminosity of other stars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, or H-R diagram, is used to compare and understand the luminosity and surface temperature of stars, with a common reference point being our Sun. On the H-R diagram, the Sun is situated on the main sequence—a diagonal band running from high temperature, high luminosity stars in the upper left, to low temperature, low luminosity stars in the lower right. The Sun's position corresponds to a luminosity of 1, as it is the standard by which other stars' luminosities are compared.

Answer 2

The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram is a plot between luminosity and temperature except that the temperature is decrementing to the right on the horizontal axis. According to this diagram the sun has a luminosity of 1 and a temperature at around 5,400 K.
