MAGNITUDES
Sirius0.01.02.03.04.05.0STAR COLORS
A star’s color depends
on its surface temperature.-^
The hottest stars shine blue- Slightly cooler stars appear white
- Intermediate stars (like the Sun) glow yellow
- Lower-temperature stars appear orange
- The coolest stars glow red
- Fainter stars can’t excite our eyes’ color^
receptors, so they appear white unless you
use optical aid to gather more light
