  Star - Wikipedia
A star is a self-gravitating sphere of plasma, in hydrostatic equilibrium, that generates energy in its interior, via nuclear fusion.
As learned by star formation astronomers, stars are born in molecular clouds, regions of higher density of matter, and form by gravitational instability inside those clouds.
There are different classifications of stars ranging from type O which are very large and bright, to M which is often just large enough to start ignition of the hydrogen.

Stellar astronomy is the study of stars and the phenomena exhibited by the various forms/developmental stages of stars.
As learned by star formation astronomers, stars are born in molecular clouds, large regions of slightly higher density of matter (though still less dense than the inside of an earthly vacuum chamber), and form by gravitational instability inside those clouds triggered by shockwaves from supernovae.

Scientifically, stars are defined as self-gravitating spheres of plasma in hydrostatic equilibrium, which generate their own energy through the process of nuclear fusion.
The energy produced by stars radiates into space as electromagnetic radiation, as a stream of neutrinos from the star's core, and as a stream of particles from the star's outer layers (its stellar wind).

All stars except the Sun appear as shining points in the nighttime sky that twinkle because of the effect of the Earth's atmosphere and their distance from us.
Stars can be much closer to each other in the centres of galaxies and globular clusters, or much further apart in galactic halos.

Star formation occurs in molecular clouds, large regions of high density in the interstellar medium (though still less dense than the inside of an earthly vacuum chamber).
Star formation begins with gravitational instability inside those clouds, often triggered by shockwaves from supernovae or collision of two galaxies (as in a starburst galaxy).
Eventually, most of the matter in a star is blown away by the explosion (forming nebulae such as the Crab Nebula) and what remains will be a neutron star (sometimes a pulsar or X-ray burster) or, in the case of the largest stars, a fl hole.

 Star
Stars are formed within molecular clouds; large regions of high density in the interstellar medium (though still less dense than the inside of an earthly vacuum chamber).
The luminosity of a star is determined by the radius and the surface temperature.
The apparent brightness of a star is measured by its apparent magnitude, which is the brightness of a star with respect to the star?s luminosity, distance from Earth, and the altering of the star?s light as it passes through Earth?s atmosphere.

 List of mnemonics for star classification
The following is a list of mnemonics for stellar classification.
Stars are classified as O, B, A, F, G, K, M, and sometimes R, N, S, C, L and T depending on their size and composition.
The classifications R, N, S and C are given to stars with high carbon content and L and T are given to stars that are so small they do not generate enough heat to begin nuclear fusion.

The energy produced by stars radiates into space as electromagnetic radiation, such as light, and as a stream of neutrinos.

Such stars are said to be on the main sequence.Small stars (called red dwarfs) burn their fuel very slowly and last tens to hundreds of billions of years.
However, since the lifespan of such stars is greater than the current age of the universe (13.6 billion years), no fl dwarfs exist yet.As most stars exhaust their supply of hydrogen, their outer layers expand and cool to form a red giant.
This generation of supermassive stars is long extinct, however, and currently only theoretical.With a mass only 93 times that of Jupiter, AB Doradus C, a companion to AB Doradus A, is the smallest known star undergoing nuclear fusion in its core.

They range in size from the tiny neutron stars (which are actually dead stars) no bigger than a city, to supergiants like the North Star (Polaris) and Betelgeuse, in the Orion constellation, which have a diameter about 1,000 times larger than the Sun—about 1.6 terameters.
One of the most massive stars is Eta Carinae, with 100–150 times as much mass as the Sun.
