What is the correct order of star colors from hottest to coolest? white, yellow, red, blue
yellow, orange, white, red
red, orange, yellow, blue-white
blue, white, yellow-white, orange

The answer is blue, white, yellow-white, orange.

Explanation: These are the two basic reasons for different star colors:

Temperature – cooler stars are red, warmer ones are orange through yellow and white. The hottest stars shine with blue light

Age – As a star ages it produces different chemicals which burn at different temperatures. We can use a star’s color to show its relative age

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
