Stars

What are stars? People usually define stars as bright "star-shaped" objects which twinkle in the night sky due to the distortion of their light by Earth’s atmosphere. However, they are much more than that. They are fiery balls of gases which produce light through nuclear fusion (combining hydrogen with helium).
