It may seem counter intuitive, but temperature defines the color of an object and the hotter an object is, the more its color will tend towards the left side of the color spectrum. As someone else said before on this site, thinking about heating a metal rod puts things in perspective. As you heat the rod, it glows red and than bluer in color as it heats up. Also, think about the hottest area of a flame--the flame is hotter at the point where it is blue in color rather than red.
What else can I help you with?
Are hotter stars blue and cooler stars red?
yes
True or false Red stars are hotter than whittish- blue stars?
False. Blue giants(or hypergiants) are hotter than Red giant stars. White dwarves are also hotter but they are smaller than blue giants. (As is implied by the name.)
Are blue stars cooler than red stars?
No, blue stars are hotter than red stars. In other words, red stars are cooler. Think of it as fire. The red one is hot, but the blue flame is RAGING hot.
What does colour of star indicates?
The color of a star indicates its temperature. Blue stars are hotter, while red stars are cooler. This is because hotter stars emit more energy in the blue part of the spectrum, while cooler stars emit more energy in the red part of the spectrum.
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.
Is the sun hotter or cooler than red and blue stars?
The sun is hotter than red stars but cooler than blue stars,
Are hotter stars blue and cooler stars red?
yes

Is red stars cold?
No. Red stars emit less energy so they are cooler than hotter blue stars.

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.
What is the difference between red blue and white stars?
Red stars are cooler and emit more red light, blue stars are hotter and emit more blue light, while white stars fall in between and emit a broader spectrum of light. This color variation is due to differences in the stars' temperatures and compositions.
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.
Which is hotter red stars or whitish - blue stars?
White Dwarves and Blue giants are both hotter than Red giant stars.
One star is reddish and another is bluish Do you know anything about the relative temperatures of the two stars?
The reddish star is likely cooler than the bluish star. Red stars have lower surface temperatures compared to blue stars, with blue stars being hotter and more luminous. The color of a star is indicative of its temperature, with cooler stars appearing reddish and hotter stars appearing bluish.
