Star!

More precisely, it is a yellow dwarf star (main sequence star)

It has a light output of 5,200-6,000 K (or a class G-II star) which is yellow (borderline orange) when viewed through our own atmosphere.

G type stars, like our sun, will shine for approximately 10 billion years and then change to a red dwarf (at that time it will leave the main sequence classification and join the red dwarfs)
