| May 7, 2020 at 10:15 | comment | added | Michael C | @JereKupari Thanks for the heads up. I've edited the answer. It should be noted, however, than no individual star is a perfect black body radiator, just as no metal or other material is. As the linked Wiki article points out several times, we model stars as if they are black body radiators. It also notes that in the case of supergiants and main sequence stars, it's rather remarkable that we can get away with treating them as such. "It is perhaps surprising that they fit a black body curve as well as they do, considering that stars have greatly different temperatures at different depths." | |

That's generally because the black body radiator is not the exact same temperature over the entire surface" No, the full visible spectrum is present even in constant temperature black body radiation. See the spectrum: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_body . Otherwise awesomely clear answer! | |
