What Are Stars?

💡 Simple Explanation

Stars are giant balls of super hot glowing gas, just like our Sun! They're so far away that they look like tiny dots. They make their own light by squishing tiny pieces together deep inside - the same way our Sun does. Some stars are bigger than our Sun, some are smaller, and they come in different colors too - blue stars are the hottest, red stars are cooler. When you look at stars, you're seeing ancient light that traveled for years to reach your eyes!
