What is a Star? Types, Life Cycle, and Fascinating Facts A star is a luminous sphere of plasma held together by gravity It generates energy through nuclear fusion in its core — a process in which lighter atomic nuclei (typically hydrogen) combine to form heavier nuclei (like helium), releasing immense amounts of energy in the process
Types - NASA Science Scientists call a star that is fusing hydrogen to helium in its core a main sequence star Main sequence stars make up around 90% of the universe’s stellar population
