  • Coolest Stars: Understanding Stellar Color and Temperature
    The color star with the lowest surface temperature is red.

    Here's why:

    * Stellar Color and Temperature: A star's color is directly related to its surface temperature.

    * Red Stars: Red stars are the coolest, with surface temperatures ranging from about 2,500 to 3,500 degrees Celsius.

    * Other Colors: As stars get hotter, they become:

    * Orange

    * Yellow (like our Sun)

    * White

    * Blue (the hottest)

    Think of it like a piece of metal being heated. As it gets hotter, it glows red, then orange, then yellow, and finally white-hot. The same principle applies to stars!
