Since the difference in energy between the different rotational states in a molecule is very small, many molecular lines can be observed with:

by looking at the spectral lines, the stronger and darker the spectral line the hotter the star is.

Stars are very hot, especially deep down in their cores, where temperatures can exceed millions of Kelvins. Because of the intense heat, electrons from atoms are striped off in large quantities.(Ionized). Using known spectral fingerprints, we can determine the star's temperature by
