1. A star’s hue is determined by its surface temperature. The shorter the
wavelength of light emitted by a star, the hotter it is. Blue or blue-white light,
which has shorter wavelengths, is the hottest. Red or red-brown, which have
longer wavelengths, are cooler.

2. Stars are composed of extremely hot gas. The lightest elements, hydrogen and
helium, make up the majority of this gas. Stars shine by converting hydrogen to
helium in their cores, and then producing heavier elements later in their lives.

3. A star’s hue mostly represents its temperature, but it can also reveal its age. The
hottest stars are class O stars, which are blue in color, while the coldest ones are
class M stars, which are red in color because we often conceive of blue as a cool
color and red as a hot one, this might be difficult to remember.

4. Yes, a star can become a planet, but only a certain type of star known as a
brown dwarf undergoes this metamorphosis. Brown dwarfs are not considered
genuine stars by some scientists because they lack enough mass to spark
standard hydrogen nuclear fusion.

5. The brilliance of a star is also affected by its distance from us. The dimmer an
object seems, the further away it is. As a result, if two stars are equal in
brightness but one is farther away, the closer star will appear brighter than the
farther away star, despite the fact that they are both equally bright.
