What Color are the Hottest Stars?

Answer – The hottest stars are blue in color.

Explanation:

There are five main colors of stars, as seen from Earth – blue, white, yellow, orange and red. 

The blue stars are the hottest, having temperatures around 25,000 K. Blue stars are the hottest, largest and have the most mass when compared to other stars.

Star color is a key indicator of the star’s age. As they get older, their mass and size declines, and their color changes. Thus, blue stars are the youngest, while red stars are the oldest.
