Question

which of the following is the correct color sequence for the surface temperature of stars, from the lowest to hottest temperature? red → orange → yellow → yellow - white → white → blue - white → blue white → yellow - white → orange → red → blue - white → white → blue yellow → red → white → orange → blue → yellow - white → blue - white blue - white → blue → white → yellow - white → yellow → orange → red

Explanation:

Stars' surface temperature determines their color. Lower - temperature stars (like red stars) emit longer - wavelength light (red is a longer wavelength). As temperature increases, the color shifts to shorter - wavelength colors. Orange is hotter than red, yellow hotter than orange, yellow - white hotter than yellow, white hotter than yellow - white, and blue (hottest among these) has the shortest wavelength in this sequence.

Answer:

red → orange → yellow → yellow - white → white → blue - white → blue (the first option)
