3. THE SUN
The Sun is the closest star to Earth and is the center of
our solar system. A giant, spinning ball of very hot gas,
the Sun is fueled by nuclear fusion reactions. The light
from the Sun heats our world and makes life possible.
The Sun is also an active star that displays sunspots,
solar flares, erupting prominences, and coronal mass
ejections. These phenomena impact our near-Earth
space environment and determine our "space weather."

6. The Stars
A Star is a big ball of hot gases. The
gases are mostly hydrogen and helium.
A Star emits light and heat which are
generated by nuclear reactions.
Stars vary in brightness. The brightness
affected by its distance from Earth.

7. The Various Types of Stars
Stars are classify according to its size,
brightness, surface temperature and colour.
There are four main groups of stars, namely
-White dwarf
-Neutron stars
-Giants
-Super Giants

12. The Formation of Stars
Stars are formed within large clusters of dust
and gases called as nebulae.
Due to the force of gravity nebula collapses and
spin.
The spinning clouds pull in more hydrogen gas
over millions of years.
Collisions occurred between nebula and
hydrogen atoms.
Hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms,
releasing a large amount of heat and light.

13. The Death of Stars
The lifespan of Star is determined by the
original mass of the Star.
The Star will become either a white dwarf,
neutron Star or black hole when it dies.
