    The document summarizes information from a textbook page about star classification. It answers questions about two properties of B and K class stars, the class of a star with a surface temperature of 2500 K, the possible classes of a star emitting yellow light, and the temperature range of such a star. Specifically, it notes that B stars are blue and hot while K stars are orange/yellow and cooler, a 2500 K star would be class M, stars emitting yellow light could be class F or G, and their temperature would range from 5200 to 7500 K.

    2. Using the table on page 267 answer the following questions.


    a. Describe two properties of stars that belong in classes B and K.
    Ans: B class stars have a surface temperature of 33000 – 10000K and a lot of the light they
    emit is in the blue part of the visible spectrum. K class stars have a surface temperature of
    5200 – 3700K emit a lot of light in the orange / yellow part of the visible spectrum.
    b. To which group does a star belong if its surface temperature is 2500 K?
    Ans: M class
    c. To which two groups might a star belong if it is emitting a lot of yellow light?
    Ans: F or G class
    d What range of surface temperatures might this star have?
    Ans: 5200 – 7500K
