  Stellar classification - Wikipedia
Stars can be classified by their surface temperatures as determined from Wien's Displacement Law, but this poses practical difficulties for distant stars.
For stars cool enough for CO to form that molecule tends to "eat up" all of whichever element is less abundant, resulting in "leftover oxygen" on the normal main sequence, "leftover carbon" on the C sequence, and "leftover nothing" on the S sequence.
Since the radius of a giant star[?] is much larger than a dwarf star[?] while their masses are roughly comparable, the gravity and thus the gas density and pressure on the surface of a giant star are much lower than for a dwarf.

 Stars
Every star varies in temperature from that of the core, the temperature of which is measured in the millions of degrees, to that of the atmosphere that is relatively cool.
Although most stars are normal members of the main sequence, astronomers have also identified stars with variations in brightness (known as variable stars) and stars with unusual spectra.
Flare stars are red dwarf stars (M and K main-sequence stars that are both cooler and smaller than the Sun) that may suddenly and unpredictably release bursts of light, particles, and radio waves that can increase the brightness of these stars by a factor of 100 or more.

 Star Spectral Classification
One example is the luminous H II region surrounding star cluster M16.
O-Type stars are very massive and evolve more rapidly than low-mass stars because they develop the necessary central pressures and temperatures for hydrogen fusion sooner.
Because of their early development, the O-Type stars are already luminous in the huge hydrogen and helium clouds in which lower mass stars are forming.

Red, yellow and green are the pan-African colours and the pattern of the flag recalls the French Tricolore.

Star in isolated cases would have their corresponding colour matching their spectral class, and it is this that brings together the changes like the yellow stars, giving them sometimes remarkable appearances by their complementary colours.

 Stars
Stars are known to be similar to our Sun (which is itself a star).
This is because the big stars have to generate more energy than the Sun to keep from collapsing--making the surface temperature higher--and small stars don't have to generate as much energy as the Sun--making the surface temperature lower.
Stars along the main sequence range from red dwarfs at 0.1-0.8 solar mass, to yellow stars like our Sun, to blue giants at 10 solar masses or more.

The one star is of spectral type G1 (our own sun is of spectral type G2) and has a temperature of about 5,700 kelvins; the second star is cooler (type G9) and has a temperature of around 4,900 kelvins.
After the separation of the stars was determined by a technique called interferometry, and the velocities and orbital period were calculated, it was possible to extrapolate each star’s size and mass.
The G1 star is nine times the sun’s size and 2.6 solar masses; the G9 star is twelve times the sun’s size and weights about 2.7 solar masses.

In fact, Danish Jews never wore the yellow badge either (except for the few who were finally deported to concentration camps), nor did German officials ever issue an order requiring Danish Jews to display it.
(Surprisingly, it was not until late 1941 that the display on clothing of a yellow Star of David with the word 'Jude' printed on it by Jews was mandated by law in Germany.) Denmark entered the tragic saga on the morning of

 Blue Scarves and Yellow Stars:
At the beginning of their planning for the Holocaust, the National Socialists in Germany passed detailed laws defining membership in the Jewish race, and then conducted inquiries to identify who were members of the race.
It signified that this person was not to be seen as an individual person but as a member of a class, a classification determined by religion and “race.” The yellow star marked a classification of people the Nazis had decided to kill.
The ultimate depersonalization--murder, killing persons--was preceded by the depersonalization of classification and symbolization, the Nuremberg laws and the yellow star.

 Yellow Giant Stars
Yellow giants are a phase of stars with masses heavier than the sun, but it is phase that doesn't last very long, so there aren't many of them.
See http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/teachers/lifecycles/LC_main_p8.html) there are blue-white and white giant stars on the main sequence, and red giant stars near the end of life of many stars.
As heavy stars move off the main sequence towards their red giant stage, they can move through a yellow giant phase.
