Its surface temperature of around 3,500 K*, this red dwarf star is one of the coldest stars in the galaxy. In comparison, the exact opposite of Solar, a B-Class blue star, has a surface temperature of over 25,000 K. However, because it burns hotter and faster, a blue star has a life expectancy of a couple billion years. Solar burns much slower and so will last much longer; scientists predict it will live for about a hundred billion years, if not more. | Its surface temperature of around 3,500 K*, this red dwarf star is one of the coldest stars in the galaxy.

*Solar's surface temperature may be higher than 3,500 K. The [[Arwing]]s used by Star Fox team are shielded against temperatures up to 9,000 degrees (Centigrade or Fahrenheit is not specified, although 3,500 K is still lower than 9,000 ºF or 9,000 ºC [3,500 K = 5,840.33 ºF and 3,226.85 ºC, to be exact]), but when flying over Solar in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', the team's Arwings will slowly take damage from the star's heat, implying that the star is hotter than 3,500 K. | *Solar's surface temperature may be higher than 3,500 K.
