Red
No. Red stars emit less energy so they are cooler than hotter blue stars.
The color of a star indicates its temperature. Blue stars are hotter, while red stars are cooler. This is because hotter stars emit more energy in the blue part of the spectrum, while cooler stars emit more energy in the red part of the spectrum.
Cooler stars are typically red in color. These stars have lower surface temperatures compared to hotter stars, causing them to emit more red and infrared light.
Colder stars emit red light. Hot stars emit large amounts of green light with small amount of red and blue light, which balances out to a white color in human eyes.
Red stars are cooler and emit more red light, blue stars are hotter and emit more blue light, while white stars fall in between and emit a broader spectrum of light. This color variation is due to differences in the stars' temperatures and compositions.
Stars appear different colors in the night sky due to their temperature. Hotter stars emit more blue light, while cooler stars emit more red light. This variation in temperature causes stars to have different colors when viewed from Earth.
The largest stars, known as red hypergiants, can appear red or orange in color due to their cool surface temperatures. The smallest stars, like red dwarfs, are cooler and emit a dim red light.
Red stars are cooler than blue stars
The temperature of a star is directly related to its brightness. Hotter stars emit more energy and appear brighter, while cooler stars emit less energy and appear dimmer. This relationship is described by the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which states that the luminosity of a star is proportional to the fourth power of its temperature.
Stars that are around 4000 degrees Kelvin typically appear red in color. This is because their surface temperature is cooler, causing them to emit more red and infrared light compared to higher temperature stars.
The characteristic that indicates how hot a star is its surface temperature, which can be determined by its color and spectrum. Hotter stars emit more blue light and have higher temperatures, while cooler stars emit more red light. This temperature is often measured in Kelvin, with hotter stars typically exceeding 10,000 K, while cooler stars may be around 3,000 K. The surface temperature also influences a star's brightness and the type of nuclear fusion occurring in its core.
