One way in which a scientist can determine the surface temperature of a star is by:

Step 1: launching a rocket to space

Step 2: Ensure they have a thermometer with them.

Note: The thermometer must be at least 20m long so as to reach the star whilst the scientist remain in the rocket

Step 3: After having landed on planet Mars, the scientists open the shuttle of the rocket

Note: they must be tied to the rocket so they don't fly out and get stranded/lost in outer space ( there safety must be ensured so that they do not get abducted by aliens)

Step 4: The scientists hold out the thermometer towards the nearest star and measure it's temperature in degrees Celsius

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.

What is the upper temperature range of stars?

The hottest stars are the blue stars, the blue hypergiants in particular. One example is "R136a1", which is a blue hypergiant that has estimated surface temperatures of over 40,000 Kelvin (well over 70,000 F). Our Suns effective temperature is around 5,700K for comparison.
