Stars can be different colors because they're like hot coals, some are very hot, and others are not. Imagine a fire: small flames are orange or yellow, but if the fire is really big and bright, it turns blue. Hotter stars burn brighter and look bluer, while cooler ones glow more red or orange.
Examples
- A blue star is like a fire that burns so hot it looks blue.
- The Sun feels warm but looks yellow because of Earth’s atmosphere.
- Red stars are like coals in a fireplace, they glow slowly and look red.
