Assertion: star's luminosity | /r/HasProperty | proportional
Facets:
value: to the fourth power
type: TRANSITIVE-OBJECT
value: to temperature
type: OTHER
Source sentences:
text: the massive, very young and energetic Class O stars boasting temperatures in excess of 30,000K while the less massive, typically older Class M stars exhibit temperatures less than 3,500K. Because luminosity is proportional to temperature to the fourth power, the large variation in stellar temperatures produces an even vaster variation in stellar luminosity.
