K-Type Main Sequence Stars
K-Type Main Sequence Stars are a category of stars that are cooler and less massive than the more common G-Type stars, like our Sun. They have surface temperatures ranging from about 3,900 to 5,200 Kelvin. These stars typically appear orange in color and can be found in various stages of their life cycle, burning hydrogen in their cores.
These stars are known for their longevity, often lasting tens of billions of years before evolving into red giants. K-Type stars are also important in the search for exoplanets, as their stable light output makes it easier to detect planets orbiting them.
