Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To determine the color of a star with a surface temperature of 5000–6000 K, we can use the concept of Wien's Law.

Wien's Law states that the color of an object is directly related to its temperature. As the temperature of an object increases, the wavelength of light it emits shifts towards shorter wavelengths, resulting in a change in color.

The color of a star is primarily determined by its surface temperature. Stars with temperatures between 5000–6000 K fall within the range of a yellowish-white color. Therefore, your choice of B. yellow is correct.
