Color affects surface temperature through absorption and reflection of light. Darker colors absorb more light and heat up more than lighter colors, which reflect more light and heat. This can result in darker surfaces becoming hotter than lighter surfaces when exposed to sunlight.

The stars in the constellation Hercules vary in color from blue to yellow to red, depending on their temperature. The surface temperature of stars in Hercules typically ranges from 3,000 to 30,000 degrees Celsius.
The surface temperature of a star is indicated by its color or spectral type. Blue stars have higher surface temperatures compared to red stars. By analyzing the star's color and spectrum, astronomers can determine its surface temperature.
Aquarius' color is often described as blue or blue-green. Its surface temperature can vary, but it typically ranges from 5,000 to 6,000 degrees Celsius.
Yes, spectral type, surface temperature, and color are related descriptors of a star's characteristics. Spectral type categorizes stars based on their surface temperature and characteristics of their spectra, with each type corresponding to a specific temperature range and color. So, they all provide insights into a star's surface temperature and related properties.
Gemini stars can vary in color and surface temperature as they are a group of stars that fall under the Gemini constellation. Typically, Gemini stars can range from blue to white in color, with surface temperatures averaging around 7,500 to 20,000 Kelvin.
