Red stars are the coolest. They are usually between 3,000-6,000 degrees Fahrenheit. They include Proxima Centauri (4.2 light-years from Earth) and Betelgeuse (350-650 light-years from Earth). The cooler and smaller the star, the longer it lives.

Blue stars are the hottest, but the LBV types, such as Eta Carinae (7,500 light-years from Earth) and R136a1 (163,000 light-years from Earth) are the hottest and heaviest in the universe. They could range temperatures from 50,000-100,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
