Q: Similar to the coil on a stove, changes in what reflect an increase in the temperature of a star?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Think about the coil of an electric stove as it heats up. The coil changes in color as its temperature rises. When you first turn on the heat, the coil looks black. The air a few inches above the coil begins to feel warm. As the coil gets hotter, it starts to glow a dull red. As it gets even hotter, it becomes a brighter red. Next it turns orange. If it gets extremely hot, it might look yellow-white, or even blue-white. Like a coil on a stove, a star’s color is determined by the temperature of the star’s surface. Relatively cool stars are red. Warmer stars are orange or yellow. Extremely hot stars are blue or blue-white.
