What is a Star?

A star is a massive glowing sphere of plasma held together by gravity. Inside, nuclear fusion converts hydrogen into helium, releasing unimaginable energy โ€” light that travels across billions of years to reach us.

Types of Stars

โญ Red Dwarfs โ€ข Small, cool, and long-lived.
โญ Yellow Dwarfs (like our Sun) โ€ข Stable and bright.
โญ Blue Giants โ€ข Massive, hot, and short-lived.
โญ White Dwarfs โ€ข Remnants of sun-like stars.
โญ Neutron Stars โ€ข Ultra-dense collapsed cores.

How Stars Are Born

Stars form from collapsing clouds of gas and dust inside nebulae. As gravity compresses matter, temperature and pressure rise โ€” until nuclear fusion ignites.

โ€œWe are made of star-stuff.โ€ โ€” Carl Sagan

Every atom of iron in your blood was forged inside an ancient exploding star.
