Talk:Yellow supergiant

It's actually white not yellow.

The color temperature of our sun, which is a G type star, is pure white. And since F is further away from yellow, F star is never yellow. Only G star or below can be yellow, and even then it's rare for G star to be yellow and it would only slightly yellow, but most G star are usually white.

And your point? These stars are called yellow supergiants, hence the title of the article. Lithopsian (talk) 19:02, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

I'm just saying that the term is incorrect for F and most G type stars, which the article mentions. The sun only looks yellow because of atmosphere scattering bluer lights at sunrise and sunset, and the sun is in fact pure white, and seeing a sun is different from seeing other stars. The sun is safer to look at sunrise and sunset, in which case it looks yellower. Other stars are always safe to look from the earth, and therefore stars with same color temperature would generally appear in warmer temperature because you usually see them when they are not near the horizon.
