The hottest star we currently know of is known as R136a1. The nearby R136a2 and R136a3 are only slightly cooler.

Sorry they don't have more interesting names, but they're a very long way away (about 160,000 light years) and despite being among the most luminous stars known cannot be seen by the naked eye.

What are the hottest stars from hottest to coolest in order?

The hottest stars are blue in color and have surface temperatures exceeding 30,000 K. Following the sequence: O, B, A, F, G, K, M (from hottest to coolest), O-type stars are the hottest, with temperatures reaching over 30,000 K, while M-type stars are the coolest with temperatures around 2,400 K.


What is the temperatures of stars from hottest to coldest?

The temperatures of stars from hottest to coldest are blue stars, white stars, yellow stars (like our sun), orange stars, and red stars. Blue stars can have surface temperatures exceeding 30,000K, while red stars typically have surface temperatures around 3,000K.


What category is the hottest star on the chart?

The hottest stars are classified as O-type stars, which are blue and have surface temperatures of around 30,000-60,000 degrees Celsius. These stars emit a lot of ultraviolet light, making them one of the most energetic types of stars.


What spectral class of stars are the hotteset?

Type-O are the hottest but there are very few. Then type-B, there are more of them but still not a lot. Then you have type-A, which are very common, then F, then G like the Sun, then K and then the coolest common ones, type M which are the red stars like Betelgeuse.


Which list shows stars in order in increasing surface temperature?

Stars are generally classified by their spectral types, which correspond to their surface temperatures. The order from coolest to hottest is: M (red dwarfs), K (orange stars), G (yellow stars like our Sun), F (white stars), A (blue-white stars), B (blue stars), and O (the hottest, blue stars). Therefore, a list showing increasing surface temperature would start with M stars and end with O stars.
