| style="background: #f3f295;"| {{w|Yellow dwarf star|Yellow Dwarf}} || warm, stable, slowly growing || A real star type. This is the type of star that {{w|Sun|our sun}} is, with a lifespan measured in billions of years. The title "dwarf" is a misnomer, as the Sun is actually larger than most stars, but it was once thought to be smaller than average as larger stars turn out to be more visible than smaller stars over a given distance.
