giant    greater than 1000 Kelvin      star High-luminosity star that lies above the main sequence on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.III
K star cooler than G2  3600 to 5000 K  orange to red   late star Cool star with spectral type K with spectra resembling those of sunspots, in which the hydrogen lines have been greatly weakened. The HK lines (q.v.) reach their greatest intensity. Strongest lines are Ca I (4227 Å) and the G-band (4303 Å).
