K-type Main Sequence Stars
K-type Main Sequence Stars, also known as K-dwarfs, are a category of stars that are cooler and less luminous than the more common G-type stars like our Sun. They have surface temperatures ranging from about 3,900 to 5,200 Kelvin and typically emit a warm orange or yellow light. K-dwarfs are stable and can burn hydrogen in their cores for a long time, often several billion years.
These stars are important in the study of stellar evolution and the search for exoplanets. Their longevity and stable conditions make them potential hosts for planets that could support life. K-type stars are often found in various regions of the Milky Way galaxy, contributing to our understanding of stellar populations.
