Stars are classified by color, mass and size.
This page uses data and statistics from Wikipedia, and may not reflect actual game statistics
[edit] Main Sequence stars
Class | Color | Mass range | Radius range | Luminosity range | Percent of all stars |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
O | Blue | 16 or more | 6.6 or more | 30,000 or more | 0.00003% |
B | Blue White | 2.1 - 16 | 1.8 - 6.6 | 25 - 30,000 | 0.13% |
A | White | 1.4 - 2.1 | 1.4 - 1.8 | 5 - 25 | 0.6% |
F | Yellow White | 1.04 - 1.4 | 1.15 - 1.4 | 1.5 - 5 | 3% |
G | Yellow | 0.8 - 1.04 | 0.96 - 1.15 | 0.6 - 1.5 | 7.6% |
K | Orange | 0.45 - 0.8 | 0.7 - 0.96 | 0.08 - 0.6 | 12.1% |
M | Red | 0.08 - 0.45 | 0.7 or less | 0.08 or less | 76.45% |
[edit] Other Stars
There are several known variations of stars, including Giants, Supergiants, Wolf-Rayet... These stars are essentially the same as their Main Sequence counterparts, with less common values. For instance a K Giant is an unusually big K Main Sequence star.
Wolf-Rayet stars are O class stars that are at the end of their life, which dramatically changes their size and light output.
