If you look into a wood fire, then up in the night sky, you might see the same colors in the flames as you see in the stars. But is there a correlation between these fire colors and the colors of the stars?
The colors of stars indicate their temperatures. Blue-white Vega is hotter than red Aldebaran. Star colors stem from “black-body radiation”, the same sort of radiation you see in metal heated to red, orange, or white heat. The orange glow seen between logs in the heart of a fire is also black-body radiation
But the orange seen in the actual tongues of flame is not. Instead, the colors of flames in a wood fire are due to different substances in the flames. The bright orange of most wood flames is due to the presence of sodium, which, when heated, emits light strongly in the orange. The blue in wood flames comes from carbon and hydrogen, which emit in the blue and violet. Copper compounds make green or blue, lithium makes red.
this is a bunch of bull all fire exibit the same couler pattern just in deferent degrees heat is the magnafacatoin of friction that is why you also see it in the suns heat emission science 101 abert e
The point of the question is missed? The answer is, “yes”. When a fire burns a similar element that is also present in the “Star”, it will burn at the same temperature therefore emitting the same color if all other relative elements present are equal.
The color of the flame is dependent upon the energy level of the photons emitted. Lower energy levels produce colors toward the red end of the light spectrum while higher energy levels produce colors toward the blue end of the spectrum. The hottest flames are white in appearance. The color of a fire may also be affected by chemical elements in the flame, such as barium giving a green flame color. The flame color depends also on the unoxidized carbon particles. In some cases there is a partial fuel oxidation due to oxygen lack in the central part of the flame, where combustion reactions take place. In such cases the unoxidized hot carbon particles emit radiation in the light spectrum, resulting in a yellow/red flame, such that of common house fireplace.
Can fire ever be so hot as to turn black?
