Answer: Stars are bright and have the ability to emit lights of various wavelength. The color of a star plays a significant role. It helps us in determining its temperature. It ranges from reddish color to a bluish-white color. A red color star indicates that the star is of low temperature, whereas a bluish-white star indicates that the star is of high temperature.
