Hydrogen is usually a colourless gas in our atmosphere but in stars it is always burning so it is burning orange or red or yellow depending on the type of star.

Why do stars have a similar bluish white color?

Stars have a similar bluish white color due to the gases that are inside of them. When you see stars that are bluish white you know that they contain a lot of hydrogen.


What Stars burn hydrogen?

All stars 'burn' hydrogen


Does hydrogen make stars?

Hydrogen is certainly the main component of most stars.


Do small stars have hydrogen and helium?

All stars contain hydrogen and helium.


What is the relationship between a star's color and composition?

Essentially none. All starts are largely hydrogen, with helium being next most abundant. A stars color is a function of it's temperature, from red (relatively cool) through orange, yellow, white blue-white and blue (hottest).


What stars burn up hydrogen?

All main sequence stars fuse hydrogen.


Are main sequence stars called medium sized stars?

No. Main sequence stars are simply stars that are fusing hydrogen into helium and have a specific relationship between color and luminosity. They range from red dwarfs to large O-type main sequence stars.


What element are stars mostly composed of?

hydrogen,All stars are composed primarily of hydrogen. Stars can also contain some other elements such as helium, but hydrogen accounts for the majority of a star's composition.


What are stars maed of?

Stars are made of hydrogen and helium.


What do you understand by main sequence stars?

In the HR-diagram, a diagram of color vs. luminosity, most stars are concentrated close to one curve, called the "main sequence". It turns out that stars on the main sequence are the stars that mainly get their energy by converting hydrogen into helium.


How Hot can stars get?

The temperature of stars can vary, with the hottest stars reaching temperatures of over 100,000 degrees Celsius. These stars are typically blue in color and are known as blue giants. The temperature of a star is closely related to its color and size.


Is the color at the star related to its size?

Generally, yes. For stars on the main sequence, meaning that they fuse hydrogen at their cores, mass, size, color, brightness, and temperature are all closely related. More massive stars are larger, brighter and hotter than less massive ones. The least massive stars are red. As you go to more massive stars color changes to orange, then yellow, then white, and finally to blue for the most massive stars.
