Solar-Type

Basic Information

Solar-Type is a broad category of stars that have at least superficial similarities with our Sun. All such stars are main-sequence / dwarf stars, with color more-or-less similar to our star, so they'd have a spectral classification of F8V to K2V. This category includes about 10% of all known stars in our galaxy.

Includes the following star types:

• F V Star
• G V Star
• K V Star
• Solar Analog
• Solar Twin
• Yellow Dwarf

• Useful as a broad class of generally familiar stars - roughly similar in size, color, and temperature to our own Sun - and thus likely to have habitable worlds.
  • If you have very human-aliens, there's a good chance they evolved in a planetary system that orbited a Solar-type star.
