Stars

When does a star die?

It depends on how big the star is,the bigger the star the shorter the life,

Some Pretty Stars or Constellations names

  • Layra
  • Betelgeuse 
  • Cygnus 
  • Pegasus 
  • Antares 

What is a star exactly?
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.

Did you know the sun is the closest star to the earth?

Where do stars come from?
According to current star formation theory, stars are born as clumps within gigantic gas clouds that collapse in on themselves. The cloud’s material heats up as it falls inward under the force of its own gravity.
When the gas reaches about 10 million K (18 million degrees F), hydrogen nuclei begin to fuse into helium nuclei, and the star is born. Energy from nuclear fusion radiates outward from the center of the burgeoning star, and gradually halts the gas cloud’s collapse.

Types of Stars

A star’s color relies on its temperature: hotter stars emit bluer light and cooler stars emit redder light. Temperature is also correlated to mass. Red dwarf stars have as little as 0.075 solar masses and a visible surface temperature less than 4,000 K. The most massive star known is R136a1, a Wolf-Rayet star 265 times the Sun’s mass — its visible surface temperature hovers at a searing 50,000 K.
The most massive (and hottest) stars exhaust their energy supply within a few million years, while tiny and cool red dwarf stars can keep on burning for many billions of years.

Did you know that the blue stars in the sky are the hottest stars?

How Big Are Stars?
all the stars are bigger then the sun so people really don't know.

What Is A Stars Real Color?
a star can come in blue,red,white,pink,yellow-White,blue-white,orange and sometimes gold.

How many Stars Are In Space?
There is over 1600 million stars in space.You many think that the stars are all visible but only the close stars are visible. there are over 1600 stars that are not visible to the world.

what is the oldest living star known?
the oldest living star known is the SM0313. the SM0313 is only 6,000 light years away from earth.
