Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A star is born when atoms of light elements are squeezed under enough pressure for their nuclei to undergo fusion. All stars are the result of a balance of forces: the force of gravity compresses atoms in interstellar gas until the fusion reactions begin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fusion is the joining of nuclei to make larger nuclei, with the release of energy. A ball of contracting interstellar gas becomes a star like the Sun when fusion reactions start in its center. Then, we say “a star is born."
