The age of stars is estimated by studying their color, temperature, and luminosity on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, which compares these properties to theoretical models of stellar evolution. For star clusters, the age can be determined by examining the main sequence turn-off point, where stars begin to evolve off the main sequence.
