Stars

• Red Dwarf Stars


  Relatively smaller in size, compared the other stars and therefore they burn at a lower temperature. They have a long sustainable life, some say a trillion years. Nearly 70% of the stars in the universe are Red Dwarf stars. They don't shine so bright, so they are difficult for humans to see with naked eyes.
• Yellow Stars


  Medium sized stars that burn at a medium temperature. There are yellow dwarf stars as well, that are not giant stars. Our Sun is one of them. These stars become quite large just before they completely start running out of fuel.
• Blue Giant Stars


  Big stars that burn at a high temperature, leaving them with a short span of life, from 10,000- 1,00,000 years. Most of the stars you see in the sky are Blue Giant stars. When these stars die, they don't shrink but explode, illuminating the entire sky.
