Our star, the Sun, is considered to be average in comparison to the size of other stars. Color and Temperature Color reveals clues about the temperature of a star. Stars have different colors ranging from reds, oranges, and yellows, to blues and whites. Color and Temperature of Stars Color Temperature (oC) Red <3,500 Orange 3,500 - 5,000 Yellow 5,000 - 6,000 Yellow-white 6,000 - 7,500 Blue-white 7,500 - 30,000 Blue >30,000 Brightness The brightness of a star depends on its size, temperature, and distance from the observer. The hotter the star, the brighter its color. Blue and white stars are the brightest and hottest stars. Red stars are the dimmest and coolest. Magnitude Another name for brightness is magnitude. Two types of magnitude 1. 2. Apparent magnitude Depends mainly upon distance Absolute magnitude Depends upon a stars size and temperature H-R Diagram http://sunshine.chpc.utah.edu/labs/star_life/h r_interactive.html
