8 StatementTrue?False? A star with a luminosity of 0.01 solar units and a temperature of 40,000 Kelvin would be classified as a main sequence star. Super giants are brighter than red giants. White dwarfs are hotter and darker than a main-sequence star A star with a brightness of 110 solar units and a temperature of 2700 Kelvin would be classified as a super giant. Red giants have more luminosity than super giants.
