Are all stars like the sun or like asteroids?

Question

Are all stars like the sun,and will burn out someday. or are tey like asteroids and linger until damaged.

Answer 1

It depends on what definition of star you're thinking of. A star is technically defined as a big burning ball of gas. The sun is a star, so by this definition, yes, all stars are like the sun, although some are much bigger or smaller. All stars by this definition will someday burn out.

However, if by star you mean something emitting light in the night sky, then the answer to your question is no, because not all of the "stars" in the night sky are technically stars. Some of the "stars" are planets or other objects in our solar system. These objects will never burn out, but when the Sun burns out, there will no longer be light reflecting off of them, and we will no longer be able to see them from Earth (not that anybody would be here to see them then anyway).

Answer 2

Well, all stars are more like the sun than they are like asteriods.

The Sun is a pretty small, dim star, as stars go. There are some smaller ones, but there are also a lot of bigger, brighter, hotter ones.

All stars will eventually burn out. The larger they are, the quicker they burn out, since they burn their fuel (hydrogen) much faster.

Asteriods don't emit light, they are basically chuncks of rock in space. They just reflect starlight or sunlight. Stars make their own light, or they do up until they die, at least.

Answer 3

The sun is just a "common" star in the universe. We just happen to live so close to it and it gives us life. If you look up in the sky and see the brightest stars, just realize those are huge suns and some of the light you are looking at is over 1,000,000 million years old. Even traveling at the speed of light, it took it a million years to get here. That's how far they are away. Amazing....

Answer 4

All stars are like the sun, except some are much larger.
Antares has 15 times the mass and is 300 times as big.
Asteroids are simply cold bodies, similar to the moon or earth, but much smaller.

Answer 5

Yes, in that all stars are hugh, round, glowing red to white hot balls of mostly hydrogen and helium gases!
Yes, in the fact that all stars are located in the centers of their individual star systems, like our own Sun is in the center of our Solar System.
Yes, in the fact that all stars had a birth at some point in the distant past millions of years ago, and will have a death in the distant future, many billions of years in the future!!
Yes in the fact that all were created by God many millennia before the earth! See Job 38: 4-7
If they exist, and I have no doubt they are 'out there' in the universe somewhere, waiting for us to discover, there are what remains of dead stars, who once were white drawfs, that are now cool asteroid or planetoid looking black masses!!! Maybe some of the socalled . . dark matter scientists are trying to discover!!

Answer 6

All of the stars are like the sun. However, they all come in different sizes.

Answer 7

All stars are like the sun in the same way my house is like Bill Gates house.

Answer 8

I think you're confused, our sun IS an asteroid. Geez, stay in school.
