Two stars, Betty and Wilma, are both on the main sequence. Betty is more luminous than Wilma

Which one has a hotter surface temperature? Which one is more massive? Which one is bigger? If they both formed at the same time, which one will evolve off the main sequence first?


Since they are both on the main sequence but Betty is more luminous than Wilma, Betty must be located higher up on the main sequence. Therefore, Betty has a hotter surface temperature, is more massive, and has a larger radius. Betty will also evolve faster than Wilma, and if they were formed at the same time Betty will turn off the main sequence first.
