Stars are huge spheres of gas held together by their own gravity. They produce light and heat from nuclear reactions inside their core.

Fun facts about Stars!

• Stars are born within the clouds of dust, scattered throughout most galaxies called nebulae. They keep burning for billions of years. Generally, the larger the star, the shorter its life span.
• Some shine more brightly than others. This brightness depends on how much energy they put out (called luminosity) and how far away from Earth they are.
• Their colours also change depending on their temperatures. Hot stars appear white or blue, whereas cooler ones appear to have orange or red colours.

Types of stars!

• Depending on their colour and size, stars are divided into different types. They include dwarfs, giants, and supergiants. Our Sun is considered to be a yellow dwarf or G-dwarf star.
• The smallest ones are known as red dwarfs and they are the most common. The largest are hypergiants, which can be more than 100 times larger than the Sun but they are very rare.
