A star's temperature is measured by how white-hot its light is, not in Fahrenheit degrees, but in Celsius degrees.
Our Sun is white hot, alright, but is a bit toward the yellow side of average. Larger (and hotter) stars may be more on the blue side of average.

What units are distances to stars measured in and why?
Usually such distances are measured either in light-years, or in parsecs.
Are all bright stars the same temperature?
no, stars temperature are diffrent according to their color. for instance, blue white stars are hotter than red stars
The distance to nearby stars can be measured by using?
Parallax
What reveals the stars temperature?
you can tell the temperature by its color
How are stars classified by size and temperature?
it is classified by thier size because stars are big and hot. the temperature is may up to 100,000,000 hotter than other stars
The distances to nearby stars can be measured by using . a. absolute magnitude c. color b. temperature d. parallax?
preallax
How do you detect a temperature of a star?
The surface temperature can be estimated quite precisely from the color of the light. The temperature of the core can't be measured as directly, and must be estimated based on our knowledge of how stars work.
Are the stars measured in light years?
Stars are not measured in light years. The distance between them is.
What is the unit temperature is measured in?
temperature is measured in degrees celsius or Fahrenheit
What is temperature measured by?
it is measured by a thermometer
How astronomers measure stellar temperatures?
Stellar temperature can be measured by analysing the spectrum of light that stars emit; shorter wavelengths correspond to higher temperatures.
Can air temperature not be measured beyond the troposphere?
Air temperature can be measured beyond the troposphere.
Can air temperature be measured beyond the troposphere?
Air temperature can be measured beyond the troposphere.
What is sequence stars?
Information on millions of stars shows that there is a relationship between temperature and brightness. Surface temperature is measured in degrees C and brightness is measured in absolute magnitude (the star's brightness at a standard distance). If all the stars are plotted on a graph of temperature against absolute magnitude, called a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, very many of them lie close to a straight line that is called the Main Sequence. There are some stars that do not lie on the Main Sequence, notably the red giants that are very bright despite having a relatively low temperature. The Sun is right in the middle of the Main Sequence showing it is an average star in the middle of its life and very stable.
Is temperature measured in centimetres?
NO ... Barometric Pressure is measured in Centimeters or Inches (of Mercury.) Temperature is measured in Degrees Fahrenheit or Degrees Centigrade.
How close is your estimated value to be measured temperature of the water?
Depends on you
What is the temperature of 1.5 volts?
Temperature is measured in degrees, voltage is measured in volts. They are different physical concepts.
