Best Answer

The constellation Bootes ... as well as all of the other 'constellations' ... is a drawing of an imaginary figure in the sky, constructed with stars at several points in the drawing, like a 'connect-the-dots' picture. The brightest star in the Bootes drawing is called "Arcturus". After the sun, Arcturus is the third brightest star in our sky. It's an orange giant located roughly 36.7 light-years from us. Its surface temperature is estimated at between 4,500 to 6,000 degrees Celsius.

What is the temperature of a planetary nebula?

The galaxy of Orion consists of many different stars, all of varying distances from us, varying sizes, varying colours and varying temperatures. The stars in Orion have no real connection to each other, only that when we look at them, they happen to make a recognisable pattern in the sky. So there is no single answer to your question.


What is the relationship between a flames color and its temperature?

The hotter the temperature the darker the colour and the colder the temperature the brighter/more blue the colour so if it is going to be hot some where when you look on a weather radar then it will be darker in that are and if it is colder it will be brighter/more blue.


Hotter stars tend to be what color?

The color of a star comes from its temperature. The coolest stars appear red, while the hottest stars are blue. And for a star, the only thing that defines the temperature of a star is its mass. Blue stars are stars that have at least 3 times the mass of the Sun and up. Whether a star has 10 times the mass of the Sun or 150 solar masses, it's going to appear blue to our eyes. An example of a blue star is the familiar Rigel, the brightest star in the constellation Orion and the 6th brightest star in the sky. Astronomers calculate that Rigel is approximately 700 and 900 light-years away, and yet it appears almost as bright as a star like Sirius which is only 8.3 light-years away. The temperature of Rigel is approximately 11,000 Kelvin; it's this high temperature that accounts for Rigel's color. Rigel puts out about 40,000 times the energy of the Sun.


What is the purpose of the H-R diagram?

That is short for Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. It is a diagram in which the brightness of stars is plotted against their surface temperature (which can be deduced from their color). It turns out that most stars (basically, the ones that get their energy from fusion of hydrogen to helium) are on, or close to, one particular curve in the diagram - the so-called "main sequence".

What are the Phoenix constellation color and surface temperature?

Phoenix is a constellation, not a single star. The constellation contains a very large number of stars and other cosmic objects which have no astrophysical relationship with one another. It is simply that they are located in such a direction, and are so far away, that they appear to move together. The different objects vary enormously in their colour and surface temperatures.
