In this section, we will teach you about big small and medium stars. We will also teach you about how you can determine the type of star based on its temperature, color, brightness and size.
Sizes of stars
There are many stars that are more massive or less massive than the sun . A hypergiant is a star with large mass. A supergiant is also a star with large mass but not as massive as a hypergiant.Giants have a regular amount of mass .Dwarfs such as the sun are small stars with a small amount of mass or a regular amount .VY Canis Majoris is a red hypergiant that is the largest star in Canis Major, Milky Way, and Universe! The second largest star in the Milky Way is a red hypergiant named VV Cephei much more massive than the sun just like VY Canis Majoris.
Temperature of Stars
Do you know the temperature of a star? The temperature of a blue star is 28,000 to 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit. When stars run out of fuel, They die. The death of a star is called a supernova. Red stars are 2,000 to 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit. A white star is 6,000 to 7,500 degrees Fahrenheit. A yellow star like the sun can be as hot as 9,980 degrees Fahrenheit.
