Blue stars are much hotter than the Sun. The Sun has a surface temperature of about 5500 degrees Celsius (10,000 degrees Fahrenheit). Blue stars have temperatures of 30,000 to 53,000 degrees Celsius (54,000 to 95,000 degrees Fahrenheit). In other words, blue stars are about 5 to 10 times hotter than the sun.
