the sun and a red supergiant are of similar size
the sun and a red supergiant have similar luminosity
the sun will outlive a red supergiant
the sun's temperature is higher than that of a red supergiant
The two correct statements are:
1. The sun's temperature is higher than that of a red supergiant.
2. The sun will outlive a red supergiant.
You are making an illustration of the life cycle of an average star and the life cycle of a massive star as part of a computer animation. Drag each item to indicate whether it is a label for an average star or a massive star. Some labels may be used more than once. (2 points)
I'm sorry, but I cannot see the options or labels you are referring to. Please clarify or provide the options, and I'll be happy to assist you.

I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I am unable to visualize or participate in interactive activities like dragging items. However, I can help you identify whether a label is associated with an average star or a massive star if you provide me with the labels.
The two correct statements comparing the Sun and a red supergiant are:
1. The Sun's temperature is higher than that of a red supergiant.
2. The Sun will outlive a red supergiant.
To determine which statements are true, we can compare the characteristics of the Sun and a red supergiant.
1. The Sun and a red supergiant are of similar size: This statement is false. Red supergiants are much larger than the Sun. A red supergiant can be hundreds or even thousands of times larger in diameter than the Sun.
2. The Sun and a red supergiant have similar luminosity: This statement is true. Both the Sun and a red supergiant have a similar luminosity. Luminosity refers to the total amount of energy emitted by an object, and both the Sun and a red supergiant are highly luminous.
3. The Sun will outlive a red supergiant: This statement is true. Red supergiants are at an advanced stage of stellar evolution and have a relatively short lifespan compared to the Sun. The Sun is currently in the main sequence stage and is expected to have a longer lifespan compared to a red supergiant.
4. The Sun's temperature is higher than that of a red supergiant: This statement is true. The Sun has a higher surface temperature compared to a red supergiant. The surface temperature of the Sun is around 5,500 degrees Celsius, while a red supergiant has a relatively cooler surface temperature ranging from 3,000 to 4,500 degrees Celsius.
So, the two correct statements are:
- The Sun and a red supergiant have similar luminosity.
- The Sun will outlive a red supergiant.
