G. This dirty snowball can be seen from Earth every 76 Earth years.
Our Sun is a yellow dwarf star. Its official designation is as a G V star. Stars in the this classification have a surface temperatures between 5,300 and 6,000 K and fuse hydrogen into helium to generate their light.
The Sun is a yellow dwarf star. It comprises approximately 99% of the total mass of the solar system.
It consists of two Sun-like yellow dwarf stars and a red dwarf. In 1996 an extrasolar planet was discovered in an eccentric orbit around the sunlike star 16 Cygni B.

This star is a main-sequence white-yellow dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type F6-7 V. Gamma Leporis has about 1.2 times Sol's mass, about 1.3 times its diameter, and about 2.6 times of its luminosity.
4 times that of Jupiter was found around the eleventh magnitude yellow dwarf star, WASP-12, which is located 800 light-years away in the constellation Auriga.
The Sun is classified as a moderately large yellow dwarf, but this name is misleading as, compared to stars in our galaxy, the Sun is rather large and bright.
The stars, designated Zeti1 Reticuli and Zeta2 Reticuli, are both yellow dwarf (main sequence) stars remarkably similar to our Sun.
55 Cancri consists of a yellow dwarf and a smaller red dwarf, with five planets orbiting the primary star; one terrestrial planet and four gas giants. It is the only planetary system discovered to have five planets and possibly more.
In fact astronomer's rather unkindly relegate it to the status of a yellow dwarf. The reason the sun dominates our sky is purely down to distance. At a mere 150 million km away the sun is sitting on our doorstep.
An average star in terms of size and mass, the Sun is a yellow dwarf of spectral type G2. It is about 5 billion years old, contains 2 * 1030 kilograms of material, and has a diameter more than 100 times that of Earth.
The main star of the triplet is a yellow dwarf of 4th mag. With a small scope one immediately discovers the 10th mag companion, which is the white dwarf mentioned above.
Such a small dense object is the first phase of the collapse of the so-called main-sequence stars. First white dwarfs, as they continue to cool they become yellow dwarfs then red dwarfs. Finally they die completely and are known as black dwarfs.
Dwarf star: A star, which lies on the main sequence and is too small to be classified as a giant star or a super giant star. For example, the Sun is a yellow dwarf star.
