To be bright, or attract attention, as a star; to shine like a star; to be brilliant or prominent; to play a part as a theatrical star.
A dense, glowing ball of hydrogen, helium, and trace quantities of heavier elements that shines with energy released from a hydrogen thermonuclear fusion reaction in the center, or core. Our Sun is an example of a star. Stars can appear red, orange, yellow, blue, or white, according to their masses and effective temperatures. Stars are born from clouds of gas and dust, live for millions or billions of years, depending on their masses, and die sometimes spectacular deaths. Stars usually exist in very large collections called galaxies.

Stars are massive hot balls of fire, with nuclear reactions in their cores giving out immense amounts of heat and light energy. There are many different kinds of star and they range in temperature, size and age. Hot stars look blue, and cool stars look red. The lifetime of a star is determined by how massive it is: high mass stars are relatively short lived, whereas low mass stars last for longer. Low mass stars evolve into red giants, and ultimately become white dwarfs and nebulae - our Sun will suffer a similar fate. High mass stars, on the other hand, die spectacularly when their cores collapse under their own gravity, creating a massive supernova explosion. What's left behind is either a neutron star or a black hole. In fact, most of the elements in the periodic table are produced by supernova explosions, and they are only around today because of supernova explosions in the early universe.

At the high stellar core temperatures, atoms move so fast that they sometimes stick to other atoms when they collide with them, forming more massive atoms and releasing a great amount of energy. This process is known as nuclear fusion. Scientists have not yet been able to use nuclear fusion as a power source here on earth, but they are trying

A dense, glowing ball of hydrogen, helium, and perhaps heavier elements that shines with the energy released from thermonuclear fusion reactions in its core. Stars appear in colors that range from red, orange, and yellow to white and blue. The surface temperature depends on the star's mass and its stage in life. In general, the most massive stars are the hottest, so they shine blue or white, while the least massive stars are coolest, so they shine orange or red. Stars are born, live and die within a metropolis populated with billions of stars called a galaxy. They may live for millions or billions of years depending on their mass.
