As a field expert in astronomy, I can tell you that the color of the sun is not a direct indicator of its temperature. However, the concept of a star's color is related to its temperature through the color spectrum. The sun is classified as a G-type main-sequence star, often referred to as a yellow dwarf. This classification is based on its surface temperature, which is approximately 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit).
The color of a star is determined by its temperature according to the black body radiation law. The hottest stars are blue, indicating a high temperature, while the coolest are red. This is because the peak emission of a hotter star is in the blue part of the spectrum, whereas a cooler star's peak emission is in the red part of the spectrum.
So, to answer your question: The hottest stars are
blue in color.
