does it follow that the larger the star the higher the core temperature?
if so what would be the highest temperature attained.
thanks

The highest known star core temperature is approximately 100 million Kelvin (179.6 million degrees Fahrenheit).
The size of a star is directly proportional to its core temperature. This means that larger stars generally have higher core temperatures than smaller stars.
Yes, there is a theoretical limit to the highest possible star core temperature. This is known as the Eddington limit and is approximately 5 billion Kelvin (9 billion degrees Fahrenheit).
The size of a star affects its core temperature because larger stars have more mass and therefore more gravitational pressure. This increased pressure leads to higher core temperatures.
No, there are currently no known stars with core temperatures higher than the Eddington limit. Any star with a core temperature higher than this limit would not be able to maintain its structure and would likely collapse into a black hole.
