Stellar classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In astronomy, stellar classification is a classification of stars based on its spectral characteristics. The spectral class of a star, is a designation of a class to a star describing the ionizati...

Stellar Spectral Types ... Spectral characteristics offer a way to classify stars which gives information about temperature in a different way - particular absorption lines can be observed only for a certain range of temperatures because only in that range are the involved atomic energy levels populated. ...

Stars of spectral type A are bright white. Due to their high mass, they are energetic and several times brighter than our sun. But their reserves of hydrogen fuel are depleted even more quickly than for stars of type F, so biological evolution is severely restricted here.

The Hertzsprung -Russell (H-R) Diagram is a graph that plots stars color (spectral type or surface temperature) vs. its luminosity (intrinsic brightness or absolute magnitude). On it, astronomers plot stars' color, temperature, luminosity, spectral type, and evolutionary stage.
