That's not planet but star class. In the game it doesn't really mean much, except that stars which require certain warp drive upgrades have higher chances of rare resources and more lush planets with more life.

Here is some info about stellar classifications if you are interested:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_classification

For example, our Sun is classified as G2 V. The G is the sequence in which the star currently is, so basically the age and colour of the star. The number 2 is the temperature, with 0 being the hottest and 9 coldest. The last one, the V for the sun is the luminousity which usually goes hand in hand with the size. The lower the bigger and brighter the star.

Polaris, the pole star is classified as F7Ib. Which means it's an F sequence star (white, bright yellow) which isn't that hot but its a supergiant which is a bit dimmer than normal supergiants.
