3. COLOR AND TEMPERATURE OF STARS Stars appear to be exclusively white at first glance. But if we look carefully, we can notice a range of colors: blue, white, red, and even gold or yellow.

4. You can tell the approximate temperature of a star by looking at its color. The coolest stars are red, then orange, then yellow (like our Sun). Even hotter stars are white and then the hottest stars are blue!

5. Star Colors and Corresponding Approximate Temperatures Star Color Approximate Temperature Example Blue-Violet 30,000 K Mintaka Blue 25,000 K Spica White 10,000 K Vega Yellow-White 7000 K Canopus Yellow 6000 K Sun Orange 4000 K Aldebaran Red 3000 K Betelgeuse
