How is the color of astar related to its temperature?
Spectral analysis informs us the temperature of a star. The hotter a star is, the whiter/bluer and brilliant it is. As a star ages it gets cooler and more yellow, then orange, then red.
What does the color tell us about a star?
A star's color tell us how old the star is and how hot the star is. A blue star is very hot and is young, a yellow star is cooler than blue, but hotter than red and is about half way through its lifetime, lastly a red start is cooler than yellow and blue and is near the end of it's life. submitted by: Fabrigar, Lovely Joana Ymas.
What is the ralation of color to a star's temperature?
Generally, the more blue a star is then the hotter it is, and the more red it is then the cooler it is.
What does color indicate in stars?
How hot or cool a star is. For example if a star is red, it's cooler. If a star is more blue, it's hotter.
The bigger the hotter the star the what?
The bigger the COOLER the brighter.
Is an orange star hotter then a yellow star?
The temperature of a yellow star's photo sphere is hotter than that of and orange star. However the total energy output of an orange star may be greater than that of a yellow star.
What makes the color of a star?
The hotter the star, the closer to white the color.
Is a yellow star the hottest?
Well I know this is not what you had in mind but white stars are hotter! If you where to compare, the blue stars would be hottest then the white stars, yellowish white, yellow orange then red. I know many people would have thought diffrently so face it our star (the sun) isn't the hottest.
What is the relationship between the color and the temperature of star?
The relationship is that the color is an indication of the star's surface temperature. For example, red stars are cooler, while blue stars are hotter. You can find more details in the Wikipedia article "Stellar classification".
How does the HR diagram explain why some smaller cooler stars are brighter than larger hotter stars?
In terms of absolute magnitude, a larger hotter star will necessarily be more luminous than a smaller cooler star. However, if a smaller cooler star is much closer to us than a larger hotter star, it may appear to be brighter. None of this has anything to do with the HR diagram.
The color of the star can be indication of the?
The star's temperature. The more blue the star is the hotter it is. Pure blue stars get up to around 18,000 k. The more red the star is the cooler it is. Pure red stars can get up to around 2,500 k. White, yellowish color stars are in the middle.
How does the color of a star relate to its temperature?
a blue star, or a new star that has just been formed from a nebula tends to be just hotter compared to stars, but to us, unimaginable temperatures! As a star burns more and more of its fuel, it becomes cooler and cooler, turning the outside yellowish to whitish. When most of its fuel burns out, a star will turn red on the outside. This is just like a fire. A blue fire is likely to be hotter than a red fire.
