The sunspot umbra parameters such as spectral type, effective temperature, and chromospheric Ca II H and K line emission are related to the same parameters of luminosity class V stars of spectral type G 8 to M 2. The sunspots follow the Wilson-Bappu relation. It is concluded that the strong magnetic fields in umbrae may control the nonradiative energy supply of the sunspot chromosphere; however, the heating mechanism is not reflected in the average appearance of the H and K line cores.
