Our Sun has a G2V stellar classification which means that it has a temperature of around 5,780 K (5,510 °C), which places it in 7.6% of all main sequence stars. Red Giants comprise over 76% of all main sequence stars. See related question for temperature comparison.

What is the second hottest star?

Yellow stars are the second hottest, Blue stars are the first hottest. Red stars, even though they are they can be the biggest they are the coldest type of star, they are still hot, but not as hot as compared to other stars.


Is your sun typical or exceptional?

Our sun is a typical star compared to others in the universe. It is a G-type main-sequence star, similar in size, age, and composition to many other stars. It is not particularly large or small, hot or cool, bright or dim in comparison to the billions of stars in the galaxy.


Are stars as hot as the sun?

Yes, stars can be as hot as the sun and even hotter. The temperature of stars varies depending on their size, age, and stage of evolution. The sun is a relatively small, average-temperature star compared to others in the universe.


Are the stars hot like sun?

Yes, stars are hot like the sun. Stars are massive balls of glowing gas that emit light and heat through nuclear fusion reactions in their cores. The temperature of stars can vary depending on their size and age, but they are all extremely hot compared to other objects in space.


What group of stars are bright but not hot?

White dwarf stars are bright due to their compact nature, but they are not hot in terms of surface temperature compared to other types of stars. They are "dead" stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and are slowly cooling off over time.


What are the seven types of main sequence stars in the universe?

The seven types of main sequence stars in the universe are O (blue and hot), B (white-blue and hot), A (white and hot), F (yellow-white and medium), G (yellow and medium), K (orange and cool), and M (red and cool).


How hot is UY Scuti compared to other known stars in the universe?

UY Scuti is one of the largest known stars in the universe, but it is not one of the hottest. It is a red supergiant star with a surface temperature of around 3,500 degrees Celsius, which is cooler than many other types of stars.


Is the Sun a very hot star?

The temperature of a star depends on the color and size. The hottest stars is the blue hypergiant stars, which has a mass more than 100 times bigger than our sun. (1000 Kelvin = 726oC = 1340oF) Rigel (17 times the mass of the Sun, 11,000 Kelvin), Bellatrix (21,500) are two examples of blue stars. The star thought to be the hottest in the universe is called Eta Carinae, and has a surface temperature at 36,000-40,000 Kelvin. On the other side of the scale, NASA may have found a class of stars called brown dwarfs. Measurements has shown that the surface temperature of the brown dwarf (locates 75 light years from the Earth) is about 300 Kelvin. The more common "cold" star class is the red dwarfs, which have a surface temperature at less than 4,000 Kelvin. Our Sun has a surface temperature at about 6,000 Kelvin. Compared to the other stars in the universe, our sun is not very very hot. There are a bunch of other, much warmer stars. Even though the Sun isn't hot compared to many other stars, I wouldn't recommend travelling there. See the related links for more facts about our Sun and stellar classification.


Are red stars hot or cool?

Red stars are cooler than stars of other colors but are still quite hot, which is why the glow red.


Is the sun the hottest star in the universe?

NO, the Sun is not the hottest star. The hottest stars are the blue and white ones. The Sun is a medium sized star. The reason we find it so hot is because it is the nearest star to us

What makes stars other colors?

The color of the stars depend on how hot they burn.
