What is a Star?
Sizzling clouds of electrified gas are dispersed from the Sun,
the closest star to our Earth.

A star's force of gravity is so strong that it compresses all its atoms and elements causing them to squeeze and fuse together. When the atoms fuse together, it releases a vast amount of energy that causes the star to heat to extremely high temperatures and to produce its own light and magnetic field. The source of heat generates at the inner core of the star and works its way outward to its surface and the far reaches of space.
Stars are formed from massive clouds of gas and dust particles scattered throughout space.
