Stellar classification - Wikipedia
WEBMain-sequence stars vary in surface temperature from approximately 2,000 to 50,000 K, whereas more-evolved stars can have temperatures above 100,000 K [citation needed]. Physically, the classes indicate the temperature of the star's atmosphere and are normally listed from hottest to coldest.
The Colors of the Stars From Hottest to Coldest - Science Notes …
WEBApr 10, 2022 · The colors of the stars indicate their surface temperatures. There are five star colors: blue, white, yellow, orange, and red. The hottest stars are blue, with temperatures around 25,000 K. Red is the color of the coldest stars, which have surface temperatures of approximately 3,000 K.
Types of Stars | Stellar Classification, Lifecycle, and Charts
WEBThere are seven main types of stars. In order of decreasing temperature, O, B, A, F, G, K, and M. O and B are uncommon, very hot and bright. M stars are more common, cooler and dim. The video below presents a helpful overview of the types of stars in the Universe.
Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram | The Schools' Observatory
WEBThe Hertzsprung-Russell diagram shows the relationship between a star's temperature and its luminosity. It is also often called the H-R diagram or colour-magnitude diagram. It is a very useful graph because it can be used to chart the life cycle of a star.

WEBAug 23, 2024 · The surface temperatures of A-type stars range from 7,400 K to about 10,000 K; lines of hydrogen are prominent, and these stars are white. F-type stars are yellow-white, reach 6,000–7,400 K, and display many spectral lines caused by metals.
Star Spectral Classification - HyperPhysics
WEBBlue-white stars with surface temperatures of about 15000K. The ionized helium (HeII) lines of the O-type stars have disappeared and neutral helium (HeI) lines are strongest at B2. The neutral hydrogen (HI) lines are getting stronger and singly ionized OII, SiII …
Star Classification - Types of Stars - Enchanted Learning
WEBThe Hertzsprung -Russell (H-R) Diagram is a graph that plots stars color (spectral type or surface temperature) vs. its luminosity (intrinsic brightness or absolute magnitude). On it, astronomers plot stars’ color, temperature, luminosity, spectral type, …
The Classification of Stars - Atlas of The Universe
WEBThe Classification of Stars. This diagram shows most of the major types of stars. The vast majority of stars are main sequence stars - these are star like the Sun that are burning hydrogen into helium to produce their energy. Most …
