Edexcel IGCSE Physics 8 12p Hertzsprung Russell Diagram Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 5]

This question is about stars.

The evolution of stars can be shown on a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HR diagram).

Complete the HR diagram by
- labelling the x-axis
- completing the absolute magnitude scale
- drawing the main sequence, red giant and white dwarf regions
