Which star is hotter red or orange?

Blue stars are the hottest, followed by white stars, then yellow stars like the sun, and lastly red and orange stars which are cooler in temperature.


Why is a white star hotter than a yellow star?

A white star is hotter than a yellow star primarily due to its surface temperature. The color of a star indicates its temperature, with blue and white stars being hotter than yellow, orange, or red stars. White stars typically have surface temperatures ranging from about 7,500 to 10,000 Kelvin, while yellow stars, like our Sun, have temperatures around 5,500 to 6,000 Kelvin. This difference in temperature is a result of the star's mass, age, and stage in the stellar lifecycle.


Is an orange star hotter or colder than a purple star?

An orange star is typically cooler than a purple star. Star color is related to temperature, with blue stars being the hottest, followed by white, yellow, orange, and red stars. Purple stars are not common in astronomical classifications, but if we consider purple as a blend of blue and red, then they would likely be hotter than orange stars.


Is a yellow star the hottest?

Well I know this is not what you had in mind but white stars are hotter! If you where to compare, the blue stars would be hottest then the white stars, yellowish white, yellow orange then red. I know many people would have thought diffrently so face it our star (the sun) isn't the hottest.

How is the color of astar related to its temperature?

Spectral analysis informs us the temperature of a star. The hotter a star is, the whiter/bluer and brilliant it is. As a star ages it gets cooler and more yellow, then orange, then red.


Is a red giant star hotter than a white dwarf star?

No. Color, for stars, is (almost) entirely dependent on "surface" temperature, and white stars are significantly hotter then red ones. (The order from coolest to hottest goes brown, red, orange, yellow, yellow-white, white, blue-white, blue).
