Do you know what a star is?Well I will tell you all about stars.Have you also wondered what the stars are made out of?Star are bright and made out of dust and light and gas also known as plasma.

[Paragraph 1 -Appearance of a star]

Stars are different sizes in fact they are also different colours. Some are read some are bright white .Some stars are tiny because they are a long distance from earth where we life.Also stars are made out of heat and gas and dust too like the sun in fact the sun is a star say WHAT.

[Paragraph 2 -Types of stars]

The sun is a star too that is made out of millions of other star and that is made out of heat and gas so the son might be SO HOT. It is the closest star to earth.There are different kinds of stars there is a nova star,a supergiant star and a dwarf star.One of our smallest known star in our galaxy is VB10 it is only around 20% larger than jupite.

[Paragraph 3 - Life Cycle of a star]

Most stars are born within a huge cloud of gas and dust called Nebulae.Some of the New star are born in the center of the Nebulae.The force of gravity inside is so intense that nothing can escape it,not even light.A star’s main sequence lasts depends on the mass of the star and how much hydrogen fuel the star contains.The energy produced helps to blow much of the disc of the gas away, leaving the new star shining brightly.
