  • Main Sequence Star Colors: A Temperature Guide
    The color of a main sequence star depends on its temperature. Here's a breakdown:

    * Blue: Hottest stars, with surface temperatures above 25,000 Kelvin.

    * Blue-white: Stars with temperatures between 10,000 and 25,000 Kelvin.

    * White: Stars with temperatures between 7,500 and 10,000 Kelvin.

    * Yellow: Stars with temperatures between 5,200 and 7,500 Kelvin (like our Sun).

    * Orange: Stars with temperatures between 3,700 and 5,200 Kelvin.

    * Red: Coolest stars, with surface temperatures below 3,700 Kelvin.

    Important Note: This is a simplified explanation. There can be slight variations in color depending on the specific star and its composition.
