Yes. See the Wikipedia article on "Stellar classification". For example, a class "O" star (blue) has a surface temperature greater than 30,000 K, a class "A" star (white) has a surface temperature of 7,500 - 10,000 K, and a class "M" star (red) has a surface temperature of 2400-3700 K. (All temperatures use the absolute scale.)

Suppose you see two stars a blue star and a red star what can you conclude about the two stars?

The color of a star is influenced by its temperature, with blue stars being hotter than red stars. Therefore, you could conclude that the blue star is hotter than the red star. Additionally, blue stars typically have shorter lifespans than red stars.


What can be said with certainty about a red star and a blue star?

A red star is cooler and has a lower temperature compared to a blue star, which is hotter. Red stars are typically older, while blue stars are younger. The color of a star is determined by its surface temperature, so these differences in characteristics between red and blue stars are consistent.


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 can you tell if Rigel or Betelgeuse is hotter?

You can tell if Rigel or Betelgeuse is hotter based on their color. Rigel appears blue-white, indicating a hotter temperature, while Betelgeuse appears orange-red, suggesting a cooler temperature. Additionally, the spectral class of Rigel (B8Ia) is hotter than Betelgeuse's spectral class (M1-2Ia).
