1. Regulus (α Leonis)
* Color: Blue-white
* Surface Temperature: Approximately 10,000 Kelvin (17,540 degrees Fahrenheit)
2. Denebola (β Leonis)
* Color: White
* Surface Temperature: Approximately 8,500 Kelvin (15,030 degrees Fahrenheit)
3. Algieba (γ Leonis)

4. Zosma (δ Leonis)
* Color: White
* Surface Temperature: Approximately 8,400 Kelvin (15,000 degrees Fahrenheit)
5. Chort (θ Leonis)
* Color: White
* Surface Temperature: Approximately 7,500 Kelvin (13,400 degrees Fahrenheit)
6. Rasalas (μ Leonis)

Important Considerations:
* Spectral Type: Star colors and temperatures are closely tied to their spectral types. Stars like Regulus are hotter and bluer (spectral type B), while cooler stars like Rasalas are orange (spectral type K).
* Approximate Values: These are approximate values, and the actual surface temperature can vary slightly.
* Many Stars in Leo: Leo is a large constellation with many stars. The list above focuses on some of the brightest and most notable.
