Its roughly in the middle of the Yellow Dwarf population. Yellow dwarves are roughly between 0.8 and 1.2 solar masses (1 solar mass is our suns solar mass).
Despite being larger than most stars, the sun is called a yellow dwarf because it is far smaller than the giant and supergiant stars.
Most stars are smaller than the sun, falling into the red dwarf category.
The color of a star is not an indicator of size. While yellow supergiants exist, most yellow stars, such as our sun, fall into the category of yellow dwarf.
Stars can be classified into different sizes based on their mass and luminosity. The most common sizes are dwarf stars (like our Sun), giant stars (larger and more luminous than the Sun), and supergiant stars (the largest and most luminous stars, like Betelgeuse and Rigel). There are also intermediate sizes like subgiant stars.
Red dwarf stars are the commonest stars, at least in the region of space around our Sun.
Stars are classified by their type and temperature. Amongst some of the types of stars in our galaxy are white dwarfs, blue giants, and red supergiants. Our own Sun is a yellow dwarf, and like most stars is a main-sequence star.
Red Dwarf Stars
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
There are many red dwarf stars in the universe. They are not most common type of star.
red dwarf is the most nearest star.
No, we revolve around a 'yellow dwarf'; whereas most of the stars (in our Milky Way Galaxy) are red dwarves, which do not burn as brightly as our Sun. See the related link(s) listed below for more information:
It is the smallest and most dormant of all stars.
