Our Sun's classification, based on spectral class, is a main sequence G2V star. It is informally designated as a yellow dwarf star. It appears white from space, but yellow on earth due to scattering of the blue spectrum in our atmosphere. G2 indicates its surface temperature of approximately 5778 K (5500 °C), and V indicates that the Sun is a main sequence star.
