Two stars $P$ and $Q$ are observed at night. Star $P$ appears reddish while star $Q$ is white. From this we conclude:

  • A
    Temperature of $Q$ is higher than that of $P$
  • B
    Temperature of $Q$ is lower than that of $P$
  • C
    Star $Q$ is at the same distance as that of star $P$
  • D
    Star $P$ is farther than star $Q$
