A G2V star is a yellow dwarf and a main sequence star.
The nearest and similar type to our own Sun is Alpha Centauri A at 4.3 light years.

Do dwarf stars emit light?
Brown Dwarfs (maybe not true stars)Red Dwarfs (on the main sequence)Orange Dwarf (on the main sequence)Yellow Dwarfs (stars smaller than our sun but on the main sequence)White Dwarfs (old stars that have run out of hydrogen and are now off the main sequence)Neutron Stars (old large stars who's cores have collapsed during a supernova)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Red dwarf - Like Proxima Centauri.White dwarf - A degenerate star. The remains of a Sun like star.Yellow dwarf - A G type main sequence star, like our own SunBlue dwarf - A hypothetical star formed from a red dwarf.Brown dwarf - A star that did not have enough mass to initiate nuclear fusion.Black dwarf - A hypothetical star formed when a white dwarf has cooled to absolute zero.Orange dwarf. A K type main sequence star, like Alpha Centauri B
The majority of stars in our galaxy are?
Yellow dwarf stars like our own sun.
Stars of average size is called?
An average star like our own Sun is called a yellow dwarf.
Is the sun a yellow star a neutron star white dwarf or red giant?
Let's see...the life sequence for a YELLOW DWARF star, like our little G2, will see it become a red giant in a few billion years, probably consuming everything out to the orbit of Earth and not doing any favors to what's left of the solar system. So, in a way, its a red giant in the making. But its too small to ever be a neutron star. So, its a yellow star today, but someday will be a red giant. That's 3, maybe 4 billion years from now, so the yellow star will still be there for a very long time to come.
What kind and size of star is our sun?
Our Sun's classification, based on spectral class, is a main sequence G2V star. It designated as a yellow dwarf star, it appears white from space, but yellow on earth due to scattering of the blue spectrum in our atmosphere. G2 indicates its surface temperature of approximately 5778 K (5505 °C), and V indicates that the Sun, like most active stars, is a main sequence star.

Are there dwarf stars other than red and white like maybe blue?
Yes there are a few more [See related link for more information].--- Main sequence stars -----Red dwarf Yellow dwarfBlue dwarf (hypothetical)--- Degenerate stars --------White dwarf Black dwarf (hypothetical)--- Sub stellar stars -------Brown dwarf.
The sun is a yellow what?
Star!More precisely, it is a yellow dwarf star (main sequence star)It has a light output of 5,200-6,000 K (or a class G-II star) which is yellow (borderline orange) when viewed through our own atmosphere.G type stars, like our sun, will shine for approximately 10 billion years and then change to a red dwarf (at that time it will leave the main sequence classification and join the red dwarfs)
What does a red dwarf sun burn?
Like all main sequence stars, a red dwarf is powered by the fusion of hydrogen into helium.
What makes up a red dwarf?
Like any other main sequence star, a red dwarf is made up of hydrogen and helium plasma.
The majority of stars in our galaxy are?
Yellow dwarf stars like our own sun.
What makes up a red dwarf star?
A red dwarf is just like what most main-sequence stars are made of, they are mainly made up of hydrogen and helium.
What are the different of the stars?
Stars are classified by their type and temperature. Amongst some of the types of stars in our galaxy are white dwarfs, blue giants, and red supergiants. Our own Sun is a yellow dwarf, and like most stars is a main-sequence star.
What star is the sun classified as?
Our Sun's classification, based on spectral class, is a main sequence G2V star. It designated as a yellow dwarf star, it appears white from space, but yellow on earth due to scattering of the blue spectrum in our atmosphere. G2 indicates its surface temperature of approximately 5778 K (5505 °C), and V indicates that the Sun, like most stars, is a main sequence star.
Is the sun a class g star?
Yes. Our Sun's classification, based on spectral class, is a main sequence G2V star. It designated as a yellow dwarf star. G2 indicates its surface temperature of approximately 5778 K (5505 °C), and V indicates that the Sun, like most stars, is a main sequence star.
Stars of average size is called?
An average star like our own Sun is called a yellow dwarf.
Why is the sun red and not blue like gas?
The Sun is not red. Its radiation is most intense in the yellow-green part of the spectrum, which is why it is called a "yellow dwarf" star.
