Imagine a fire: small fires are blue, big fires are red. Stars work like that! Hot stars shine blue, and cooler ones glow red. It's all about how much energy they give off.
Examples
- A blue flame is hotter than a red one, just like a hot star looks blue.
- Imagine a campfire on a cold night: it glows orange, like a cool star.
- A light bulb that's very bright might look white, similar to the hottest stars.
