Star - Wikipedia A star is a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity [1] The nearest star to Earth is the Sun Many other stars are visible to the naked eye at night; their immense distances from Earth make them appear as fixed points of light
Star | Definition, Light, Names, Facts | Britannica A star is any massive self-luminous celestial body of gas that shines by radiation derived from its internal energy sources Of the tens of billions of trillions of stars in the observable universe, only a very small percentage are visible to the naked eye
Stars - NASA Science At the beginning of the end of a star’s life, its core runs out of hydrogen to convert into helium The energy produced by fusion creates pressure inside the star that balances gravity’s tendency to pull matter together, so the core starts to collapse
