Type-O are the hottest but there are very few. Then type-B, there are more of them but still not a lot. Then you have type-A, which are very common, then F, then G like the Sun, then K and then the coolest common ones, type M which are the red stars like Betelgeuse.
The hottest stars are supergiants and the brightest are blue stars therefore the hottest and brightest are blue supergiants
O
Which are "blue" stars.
Spectral class Y, which is typical of "brown dwarf" stars.
There are stars with spectral classes of O & B (e.g. Rigel) R136a1 is a star of the spectral class WN5h. Wolf Rayet stars have this kind of spectral type.
temperature
Our Sun has a spectral class of G (Yellow dwarf). About 1 in 13 stars, in our solar neighbourhood are within this class
Spectral class is the categorization of stars by temperature and size, mostly the former. Spectral class B is very hot. In descending order (hottest to coolest) the spectral classes are O,B,A,F,G,K,M. You can see that B is very near the top.
Spectral class Y, which is typical of "brown dwarf" stars.
Spectral class is classification of stars by their external features..Like light,temperature etc..

The spectral class is A0Va.
Our Sun has a spectral class of G2V.
Antares has a spectral class of M1LB.
Red stars (Red dwarfs and red giants) have a spectral class of M.
Red stars (Red dwarfs and red giants) have a spectral class of M.
Typically orange stars have a spectral class of K. Examples are:ArcturusAldebaranAlpha Centauri B
