Luminosity refers to the amount of energy that a star emits every second. It plays a role in just how visible it may be people on Earth.
Luminosity and brightness are different but are similar and work independently. Brightness refers to the appearance while luminosity is energy-focused.
The larger that a planet gets the more luminous it becomes naturally. This is because with more surface area there is more energy to be extended.
According to scientists, the most luminous known star is called the Pistol star which emits almost 10 million times the amount of power generated by the sun.
A star's luminosity is connected to its size and temperature.
Blue stars are some of the hottest stars known, they are more luminous typically because their temperature have a large impact on boosting their luminosity. Temperature is one of the two main factors affecting luminosity.
