A C-Class star, also known as a carbon star, is a type of late-type star characterized by a significant presence of carbon in its atmosphere. These stars typically have a cooler surface temperature, ranging from about 3,000 to 5,000 Kelvin, which allows carbon compounds to form. As a result, they often exhibit a reddish hue and are found in various stages of stellar evolution. C-Class stars are often located in the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase of their life cycle. During this phase, they undergo thermal pulses that enhance the production of carbon. This process leads to the formation of dust and molecules, contributing to the interstellar medium and influencing the formation of new stars and planets, including those in systems like our own Solar System.
