One way in which a scientist can determine the surface temperature of a star is by:

Step 1: launching a rocket to space

Step 2: Ensure they have a thermometer with them.

Note: The thermometer must be at least 20m long so as to reach the star whilst the scientist remain in the rocket

Step 3: After having landed on planet Mars, the scientists open the shuttle of the rocket

Note: they must be tied to the rocket so they don't fly out and get stranded/lost in outer space ( there safety must be ensured so that they do not get abducted by aliens)

Step 4: The scientists hold out the thermometer towards the nearest star and measure it's temperature in degrees Celsius

How do you detect a temperature of a star?

The surface temperature can be estimated quite precisely from the color of the light. The temperature of the core can't be measured as directly, and must be estimated based on our knowledge of how stars work.

How do astronomers determine the surface temperatures of the stars?

Astronomers determine the surface temperatures of stars by analyzing their spectrum of light. Each star emits a unique spectrum based on its temperature which can be measured using instruments like spectrographs. By comparing the observed spectrum to known temperature profiles, astronomers can estimate the surface temperature of a star.


Are yellow stars hotter than blue stars?

No Blue stars are estimated to have an effective temperature of ≥ 30,000 K Blue-white stars are estimated to have an effective temperature of 10,000-30,000 K By contrast, yellow stars only have an effective temperature of 5,200-6,000 K. Even yellow-white stars are only 6,000-7,500 K
