• Stars are one of the celestial bodies in the space.
• A Star is made up of spheroid of plasma held together by its own gravity.
• The star stands against its gravity with the help of the Nuclear fusion reactions in its core.
• With the collapsing of cloud material a star is formed.
• Hydrogen is mostly found in the stars.
• Earth has sun as it's nearest star.
• A constellation is a group of stars which form an imaginary pattern in the sky, representing any mythological person or creature etc.
Example - Orion, Leo, Draco or Cancer.
• The color of a star mostly indicates the star's age or can also suggest a star's temperature,
• The Blue coloured stars are the hottest stars and come under Class - O stars.
• The Red coloured stars are the coldest ones who come under Class - M stars.
• The stars burn hydrogen in their core, this emits a lot of energy and makes star appear blue.
• As stars get old, the amount of hydrogen decreases to burn, thus there is a decrease in the amount of energy they emit.
• Thus, younger stars appear blue while older ones appear more red.
