Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A star is a huge glowing ball of hot gas. Deep inside its core, hydrogen atoms smash together, forming helium and releasing huge amounts of energy that heats the gas. This is called nuclear fusion, and it’s why a star shines. As the hot gas pushes outward, it opposes the inward pull of gravity.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gaseous sphere surrounding Earth is called the atmosphere. The atmosphere is one of four subsystems on Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Sun is a 4.5 billion-year-old yellow dwarf star – a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium – at the center of our solar system. It’s about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth and it’s our solar system’s only star. Without the Sun’s energy, life as we know it could not exist on our home planet.
