Answer:
Stars are celestial objects that can produce their own light. They are extremely hot and extremely large in size. They are mostly made up of hydrogen gas with a little helium in them. The sun is also a star; the sun’s energy and light play one of the key roles in sustaining all forms of life on earth.
Stars produce light by nuclear fusion reactions that happen inside it. In this process hydrogen is converted into helium and energy is produced as a by product.
It is this energy that comes to us as light. The sun being near to us appears large and very bright in the sky. However, all other stars are extremely far away from us. So, they appear small and faint in the sky. In fact, many of these celestial bodies are hundreds times bigger than our sun in size and much brighter but they don’t appear so because they are so far away from the earth.
They are present in the sky even during the day. We do not see them because the sun’s bright light hides them. There are billions of them in the universe, more than all the grains of sand in the earth.
Constellations of Stars:
Because the earth revolves around its axis from west to east, the stars all appear to move east to west like the sun. In the night sky they seem to appear as groups called as constellations forming a particular pattern in the sky. In reality, stars in constellations can be billions of kilometers apart. They only appear to be close when viewed from the earth.
