As I understand it, Stars emit visible light, OBAFGKMRNS, in the range of $10^3 - 10^4 K$. Yet materials such as steel emit similar frequencies at much lower temps; red is around 800K. Why the difference? I thought black body radiation applies to all materials and environments. I am an interested amateur.
