Star | Definition, Light, Names, Facts | Britannica star, 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 composing the observable universe , only a very small percentage are visible to the naked eye
Stars - NASA Science Our Milky Way alone contains more than 100 billion, including our most well-studied star, the Sun Stars are giant balls of hot gas – mostly hydrogen, with some helium and small amounts of other elements

The answer: hydrostatic equilibrium That means gravity of the star's mass (which pulls the gases inward) is balanced by the outward pressure of the heat and light—the radiation pressure—created by the nuclear fusion taking place in the core
What Is a Star? | Types of Stars - Sky Telescope A star is a luminous ball of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium, held together by its own gravity Nuclear fusion reactions in its core support the star against gravity and produce photons and heat, as well as small amounts of heavier elements
