  • Star Temperatures Ranked: Hottest to Coolest (O4 to M5)
    Here's the order of stars from hottest to coolest, based on their spectral types:

    Hottest to Coolest:

    1. O4: The hottest stars, typically blue-white in color.

    2. B3: Still very hot, with a bluish-white hue.

    3. A0: Hot, white stars.

    4. A1: Slightly cooler than A0, still white.

    5. F5: Yellow-white stars.

    6. G7: Our Sun is a G-type star, yellow in color.

    7. K2: Orange stars.

    8. K0: Slightly warmer than K2, still orange.

    9. M5: The coolest stars, typically red in color.

    Explanation:

    * Spectral Types: These letters (O, B, A, F, G, K, M) represent a system of classifying stars based on their surface temperature and spectral characteristics.

    * Numbers: The numbers following the letters indicate finer subdivisions within each spectral class, with lower numbers representing hotter stars.
