  • Understanding the Sun's Stellar Classification (G2V)
    The Sun belongs to the G class of stars.

    More specifically, it's classified as a G2V star.

    * G indicates its surface temperature, which is around 5,500°C. G-class stars are considered "yellow dwarfs."

    * 2 is a more specific temperature classification within the G class.

    * V means it's a main-sequence star, meaning it's currently fusing hydrogen into helium in its core.
