Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Overview: A star is a huge luminous ball of hot gas, mostly hydrogen and helium, held together by gravity. Nuclear reactions in the cores of all stars, including our Sun, produce energy in the form of light. Stars shine because this light works its way to the surface and radiates out into space.
Detailed explanation-2: -Basically, stars are big exploding balls of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium. Our nearest star, the Sun, is so hot that the huge amount of hydrogen is undergoing a constant star-wide nuclear reaction, like in a hydrogen bomb.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most stars are made up of mainly two gases, which are hydrogen and helium.
