Here's why:
* Star Color and Temperature: A star's color is directly related to its surface temperature.
* Red Stars: These are the coolest stars, with surface temperatures ranging from about 2,500 to 3,500 degrees Celsius.
* Other Colors: As stars get hotter, they change color:
* Orange: 3,500 to 4,500 degrees Celsius
* Yellow: 4,500 to 6,000 degrees Celsius
* White: 6,000 to 7,500 degrees Celsius
* Blue: 7,500 to 10,000 degrees Celsius
* Blue-White: Above 10,000 degrees Celsius
Remember, even the coolest red stars are incredibly hot by our standards!
