Detailed explanation-1: -Our Sun’s surface temperature is about 6000 K; its peak wavelength color is a slightly greenish-yellow. In space, the Sun would look white, shining with about equal amounts of reddish and bluish wavelengths of light.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Sun is a 4.5 billion-year-old yellow dwarf star – a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium – at the center of our solar system. It’s about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth and it’s our solar system’s only star.
Detailed explanation-3: -As a star’s temperature increases, as a result of there being more gas in the star – and hence more fuel to burn – it becomes hotter. Its colour changes from orange, through yellow, to white. The hottest stars are blue, with temperatures up to 40, 000ºC.
Detailed explanation-4: -And this bright star is also called the Goat Star. The point of light we see as Capella looks distinctly golden. And Capella shares a spectral type – type G – with our sun. In fact, Capella is the biggest and brightest yellow star in our sky.
