1. The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is important to astronomy because it was the first diagram to help classify stars, it demonstrates their luminosities and star colors and determine their temperature as well as real brightness.
2. The H-R diagram measures their temperature and real brightness as well as other characteristics by looking at the distances to the stars and upon the type of light emitted.
3. Our sun would be near the main sequences of the H-R diagram.

Haiku For Marine Science
Sizes & Distances in Space
Huge Planets in Space
Distances, unable to face
Infinite is Space
My Haiku explains the distances between planets and stars by describing them to be unimaginable. The distances between stars and solar systems is so great that we cannot even begin to comprehend. Space is also never ending which is explained by describing it as infinite.
