What is the most common way to classify stars?
by size
by age
by distance
by color
The most common way of classifying stars is by color as shown, in Table below . Each class of star is given a letter, a color, and a range of temperatures. The letters don’t match the color names because stars were first grouped as A through O. It wasn't until later that their order was corrected to go by increasing temperature. When you try to remember the order, you can use this phrase: “Oh Be A Fine Good Kid, Man. ”.
