What is the classification for small hot stars?

Small hot stars are classified as type O, B, or A stars based on their spectral characteristics. These stars are typically blue-white in color and have high surface temperatures and luminosities. They are also referred to as main sequence stars because they are actively fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores.


Which color stars are hot?

Hot stars are typically blue or white in color. These stars have higher surface temperatures, often exceeding 10,000 degrees Celsius (18,000 degrees Fahrenheit). Their intense heat results in the emission of light at shorter wavelengths, which gives them their blue or white appearance. Examples of hot stars include O-type and B-type stars in the stellar classification system.
