What is definition of luminosity in Photoshop?

I am reading a lot of times that Luminosity is same as 'Brightness' in Photoshop..

 

But I also read that Luminosity is same as 0.3R + 0.59G + 0.11 Blue.

 

Maybe what I find this most confusing: Is a change in Luminosity effecting Saturation?

 

Can you span a colorspace with Luminosity and Hue alone?

 

At many sites theim y seem to replace the word 'Luminosity' for Brightness. And I think that is not correct.

 

Basically I am in the process of understanding the Luminosity blending.

 

I think it is 'normal blending' of all layers (regarding Hue) and keeps the luminosity of the top layer.

 

 

It would be very nice if I can choose my colors and see the Luminosity value as well (just for understanding). Some plugin maybe?

I think I need to do some experiments to get a feel for it. But I don't know how yet.

 

A lot of questions, but I find this all very confusing...(as I am reading different things).
