Again, technically our sun (sol) is a G2V start, in case 
you are unaware of what that means, The G is for the 
yellow and the V is for dwarf. The G2 is for the upper 
yellow toward the white, if the sun were 6500K as you 
pointed out, then it would be in the F category, i.e. 
blue. The upper white-yellow value is 6000K btw. Yellow 
darwfs are small main sequence stars... our sun happens to 
be a small yellow main sequence star. Sorry to burst your 
bubble, but we've been orbiting around an insignificant 
dwarf all this time.

I knew all those astrophysics classes would come handy one 
day.....
