The star Mirfak, aka Alpha Persei (Bayer) or 33 Persei (Flamsteed), is a white star with an F5 spectrum, and it hotter than the Sun and about 4000 times brighter than the Sun, and 500-600 light-years away. The surface temperature is 6000 Kelvin.
Alpha Persei (Mirfak or Algenib) is the brightest star in the constellation of Perseus.It has an apparent magnitude of 1.79 and an absolute magnitude of -4.50
Yes, a star's outer layer, called the photosphere, is hot and dense. This is where most of the visible light and heat emitted by the star originate. The temperature and density of the photosphere vary depending on the type and age of the star.
A star is a ball of gas that is very hot and very bright.
Main sequence
A white dwarf star fits this description. White dwarfs are hot due to residual heat from their earlier stellar evolution, but they have a small radius comparable to that of a planet like Earth.
Mirfak, also known as Alpha Persei, is a blue-white star.
