Which type of spectrum do most stars have?

Most stars have absorption spectra. In other words, stars possess thin outer layers that allow light to pass through. These layers produce what are called absorption lines. This means the light from the sun and stars are absorption spectra.

How do different scientists spectra to figure out the composition of a star's outer layer?

The color of the light radiated by the spectra can show the internal composition as well as the gases burning on the outer layer. Red stars are colder and blue stars are hotter.
