    You say hello. You say the topic. You start the intro.
    And that's it! Eight and a half seconds and the topic starts, no gibberish, no ads, no clickbaiting, no silly long intro song, no minutes-long introduction of who you are, and no waiting for what the video is about in the first place.

    Large stars are inefficient and burn fuel too quickly. They have to be disassembled until the remains are small stars or inert hydrogen storage objects. That way, life around the star can be maintained for far longer.

    Some of the coldest red dwarfs are not even M type, but rather L type, which is usually a classification used for brown dwarfs. These L-Type red dwarfs are around 2,500-3,200K. They are also very small and very loosely held together. They are barely even stars at all, and are around 0.08-0.22 Solar Masses.

      G-stars are in fact white in visible light. They actually peak in green by the way. The sun only appears yellow in filtered images or due to atmospheric scattering of blue light.

Other stars in its class also look yellow, as it looks in our sky, thanks to the atmosphere scattering its light.
