Eight and a half seconds and the topic starts, no gibberish, no ads, no clickbaiting, no silly long intro song, no minutes-long introduction of who you are, and no waiting for what the video is about in the first place.

It was always counterintuitive to me that red is cooler than blue.

Not really I mean blue is a shorter wavelength which means more energy and more energy = hotter. Besides you can see it when a metal is heated enough ot will go from red all the way to blue.

Main Sequence Stars: Spectral Class O -> Indigo/Violet * Spectral Class B -> Blue * Spectral Class A -> Green * Spectral Class F -> White * Spectral Class G -> Yellow Spectral Class K -> Orange † -> Ideal star type for life as we know it. Spectral Class M -> Red † * - These stars are always large enough to result in supernovae. † - These stars are never large enough to result in supernovae.

Large stars are inefficient and burn fuel too quickly. They have to be disassembled until the remains are small stars or inert hydrogen storage objects. That way, life around the star can be maintained for far longer.

[@albireo2990]

Some of the coldest red dwarfs are not even M type, but rather L type, which is usually a classification used for brown dwarfs. These L-Type red dwarfs are around 2,500-3,200K. They are also very small and very loosely held together. They are barely even stars at all, and are around 0.08-0.22 Solar Masses.

@@Sundansulaku2023 You're right. The criterion is at least 0.075 solar masses to initiate fusion in the core, and 0.075 Solar masses is about the average mass of a type L2V star (we think--unfortunately there's still a very small database of measured masses at this end of the scale).

The sun isnt white it is infact yellow due to its classification on temperature and absolute magnitude (brightness when it is at 10 parsecs away) . In main sequence star area it is classification G with its temperature being roughly 5000k and absolute magnitude of 6 , basic astrophysics .

[@rheiagreenland4714]

"Yellow dwarf" is just a misnomer G-stars are in fact white in visible light. They actually peak in green by the way. The sun only appears yellow in filtered images or due to atmospheric scattering of blue light. They are often associated with yellow to differentiate them from A and F type stars as well as white dwarfs

[@titaniummechsx3324]

If it’s yellow then when you use a prism you would only get yellow, but we get a rainbow, meaning it got white light

[@korkutalekberov7116]

What about T 8 type star They are the coolest stars

[@JohnDerhammer]

Unfortunately, Type N and Type S spectral Types have been neglected. So much for celestial classification. Next thing you know, they'll classify the Milky Way Galaxy as a spiral galaxy instead of the barred galaxy that it is.
