These stars are plotted on an H-R diagram below. The B5 white dwarf is the hottest, followed by the A0 supergiant, the F5 main-sequence star, and the M5 giant is the coolest. Instead of using the H-R diagram, the OBAFGKM mnemonic can be used to determine the temperatures of these stars from their spectral type.
