Imagine stars like hot lava, the hotter ones are blue, like a fire that’s really bright and cool. The cooler ones are red, like a fire that’s almost going out. Stars change colors as they grow old or burn bright.
Examples
- A red star is like an old person, it’s slow, cool, and has been around a long time.
- A blue star is like a teenager, full of energy, burning bright, but not going to last as long.
- When you look at the sky on a cold winter night, the stars that look red are actually glowing with gentle warmth.
