What is Star:
A star It is a large celestial body, made up of plasma, with a spherical shape, which shines with its own light.. The word comes from Latin stella.
The spherical shape of stars is a consequence of a phenomenon known as hydrostatic balance, in which two forces interact: gravity, which pushes matter towards its center, and pressure exerted by the plasma outwards.
The stars They are formed as a result of the collapse of clouds of materials such as hydrogen, helium and other heavier elements, and they gradually increase their density thanks to a set of chemical reactions that take place inside them.
There are different types of stars. The Sun, for example, is a dwarf star if its luminosity is considered; It is the closest star to Earth and the source of most of our planet’s energy.
The stars They are visible from Earth at night, when there are no clouds or other weather phenomena that make visibility difficult. Some of the best known are the morning star or morning, very bright and large, which is the planet Venus, as well as the polar Starwhich points north.
The stars They are grouped in galaxies. Seen from Earth, certain groups of stars are given an imaginary shape in the sky and are named according to what they evoke. This is known as constellations. Some of the best known are the Big Dipper, the Little Dipper, Cassiopeia, Andromeda, as well as the constellations that form the symbols of the zodiac, among others.
