New stars are very hot, so they look white or blue-white. Middle-aged stars are not as hot. They turn yellow like the sun and have temperatures of about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,538 degrees Celsius).
Stars get old after ten billion years and run out of fuel. They get hotter and larger. They become red giant stars. Some of these stars are 40 or 50 million miles (64 or 80 million kilometers) across.
a surface temperature of about 6,000degC
The color of a star is closely related to its surface temperature. Red stars have surface temperatures around 3,000degC and blue-white stars have surface temperatures above 20,000degC
white dwarfs are no larger than the earth, and neutron stars are only a few kilometers in radius.
New stars are very hot. They are white or blue. As they get older, they turn yellow like the sun. When they get very old, they become red giant stars.
Yellow stars
are cooler, but still very hot. Their surfaces reach about 9,932°Fahrenheit.
