STARS

Stars are Luminous balls of plasma usu-ally that burns bright in space burning and combining different materials and brightening the sky.

STARS

The Sun is a star as well that is the clos-est to our earth

Stars differ from each other in different ways

STARS

Stars “live” by combining lighter ele-ments such as heavier elements helium until it just cant fuse anymore and it ex-plodes as a super nova.

Super Nova

Supernovas are catastrophic explosions that occurs when a star runs out of lighter elements to fuse and collapses as an explosion.

There are two types to a Super Nova one with Hydrogen and one without.

Stars

The Sun is the closest star to our plant earth that burns at about 5778 Kelvin on the surface.

Our 2nd closest star is known as Proxima centauri

Stars

There are different kinds of stars that are in space

Super giants Giants White Dwarfs Main Sequence

Super Giants

Super Giants are literally Giant Stars Supergiants have masses from 8 to 12 times the

Sun, and luminosities from about 10,000 to over a million times the Sun. They vary greatly in radius, usually from 30 to 500. They are massive enough to begin core helium burning gently before the core becomes degenerate, without a flash, and without the strong dredge-ups that lower-mass stars experience. They go on to successively ig-nite heavier elements, usually all the way to iron.

Some famous Super Giants are Betelgeuse and Antares

Stars

Stars that are along a mystical line are known as main sequence stars.

Main sequence stars are unique because they run from coolest to hottest, from smallest to largest.

Some famous main sequence stars are Spica, Sirius, etc.

White Dwarfs

What are White Dwarfs? White dwarfs are Giants and Super giants

that run out of fuel entirely.

Nuclear Fusion

Stars burn through what is known as nu-clear Fusion.

Stars first fuse Hydrogen then helium then other heavier materials in order to keep burning and living.
