Is the sun a small dwarf star or a large dwarf star?
the sun is NOT a dwarf star, it is a g-type star. a dwarf is a s-type starThe Sun is a G2V star G2 means the second hottest of the yellow G class and V (the Roman numeral five) identifies the Sun as a main sequence DWARF STAR (so yes it is a dwarf star) A star with spectral S is a late-type giant star (similar to class K5-M).
What type of star is the sun classified as?
The sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G V). It may be referred to as a yellow dwarf, or G dwarf star. Alternately it may be called a main-sequence star of spectral type G and luminosity class V.
Is the sun yellow?
The sun is yellow dwarf star or type G.
What is the star that is bigger than the sun called?
Many stars are bigger than the sun. In fact the sun is called a yellow dwarf, or a G dwarf star meaning it is relatively small (i.e. a dwarf) compared to the "average star" in our galaxy.
Which heavenly body is known as yellow dwarf?
The sun is a G-type main sequence star, sometimes called a yellow dwarf.
Do dwarf stars emit light?
Brown Dwarfs (maybe not true stars)Red Dwarfs (on the main sequence)Orange Dwarf (on the main sequence)Yellow Dwarfs (stars smaller than our sun but on the main sequence)White Dwarfs (old stars that have run out of hydrogen and are now off the main sequence)Neutron Stars (old large stars who's cores have collapsed during a supernova)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Red dwarf - Like Proxima Centauri.White dwarf - A degenerate star. The remains of a Sun like star.Yellow dwarf - A G type main sequence star, like our own SunBlue dwarf - A hypothetical star formed from a red dwarf.Brown dwarf - A star that did not have enough mass to initiate nuclear fusion.Black dwarf - A hypothetical star formed when a white dwarf has cooled to absolute zero.Orange dwarf. A K type main sequence star, like Alpha Centauri B
Is the sun a giant sized star?
No. The sun is a Class G star, otherwise known as Class II or yellow dwarf. It is a medium-sized star.
What is the sun in our solar system?
The sun is the centre of our solar system. It is a star. Specifically it is a type G yellow dwarf.
Why is our Sun not a ordinary star?
How do yo define ordinary? For us the Sun is an Ordinary (mainstream) Star. It is not a Hyper Giant or a Dwarf Star. Its a G class yellow star that supports life on this planet.
Is the sun a red giant or a supergiant?
No. The sun is a G-type main sequence star, sometimes called a yellow dwarf.
The sun is currently what type of star?
the sun is currently a yellow dwarf star. The Sun is classified as a G2V type star G2 signifying the second hottest type of the yellow g class stars with a surface temp of 5800K the roman numeral V signifies a yellow dwarf
What kind of star will the sun eventuly turn into?
The sun is a moderate type G star, and it will continue to burn for about 5 billion years more. As it begins to run out of fuel at that stage, it will become a red giant. Then, the outer atmosphere of the sun will puff away as a planetary nebula, leaving behind a white dwarf core, which will be the end of the line. After many billions of years, the white dwarf will gradually cool, passing through the visible spectrum until it ceases to give off light at all. The final result will be a black dwarf. It will have its gravitational field, but it will no longer glow.
