===Class G=== {{Redirect|G star||G star (disambiguation)}} {{See also|G-type main-sequence star|Yellow supergiant|Yellow hypergiant}} [[File:G5V star spectrum.png|thumb|Spectrum of a hypothetical G5V star]] G-type stars, including the [[Sun]],<ref name="SunSpectrum"/> have prominent spectral lines ''H'' and ''K'' of [[calcium|Ca]] II, which are most pronounced at G2. They have even weaker hydrogen lines than F, but along with the ionized metals, they have neutral metals. There is a prominent spike in the G band of [[cyanide|CN]] molecules. Class G main-sequence stars make up about 7.5%, nearly one in thirteen, of the main-sequence stars in the solar neighborhood. There are 21 G-type stars within 10pc.<ref group=lower-alpha name="proportions"/><ref name="LeDrew2001"/> Class G contains the "Yellow Evolutionary Void".<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Checking the yellow evolutionary void. Three evolutionary critical Hypergiants: HD 33579, HR 8752 & IRC +10420 |journal=Astronomy and Astrophysics |volume=353 |pages=163 |bibcode=2000A&A...353..163N |last1=Nieuwenhuijzen |first1=H. |last2=De Jager |first2=C. |year=2000}}</ref> Supergiant stars often swing between O or B (blue) and K or M (red). While they do this, they do not stay for long in the unstable [[yellow supergiant]] class.
