what is the stars?

Answer 1

This has nothing to do with zoology, but a star is any massive gaseous body in outer space, just like the Sun. Unlike a planet, a star generates energy through nuclear fusion and therefore emits light. All stars except the Sun appear as shining points in the nighttime sky that twinkle because of the effect of the Earth's atmosphere and their distance from us. The Sun is also a star, but it is close enough to Earth to appear as a disk instead, and to provide daylight.

Answer 2

I agree entirely with One Hot Potato. Some additional news -- Our own Sun is too close and too bright to twinkle. So is the earth's moon (all the moon's light is reflected light from the Sun). The planets in our Solar system don't twinkle, either.

There are some specks of light we see at night that aren't a star, they are entire galaxies!

And there are things we don't see that are out there such as black holes (there appers to be one in the middle of our own Milky Way galaxy).

Answer 3

Here in Dallas, we have a NATIONAL HOCKEY team.
They are called the STARS. Short, for Dallas Stars.

Is that what you were looking for?
Were you referring to the little yellow stars that pop up on Yahoo answers, thanking you for answering, voting or rating an answer?

That is just to call your attention to the fact, that they appreciate what you're doing.

Is THAT what you meant?

I hope ONE of these are what you were looking for.

Good Luck!
