  • O-Type Stars: Exploring the Hottest Stars in the Universe
    The hottest stars are classified as O-type.

    Here's a breakdown of spectral classes and their temperature ranges:

    * O: 30,000 - 50,000 K (blue)

    * B: 10,000 - 30,000 K (blue-white)

    * A: 7,500 - 10,000 K (white)

    * F: 6,000 - 7,500 K (yellow-white)

    * G: 5,200 - 6,000 K (yellow)

    * K: 3,500 - 5,200 K (orange)

    * M: 2,000 - 3,500 K (red)

    As you can see, O-type stars have the highest temperature range, making them the hottest.
