introduction
A star is a luminous ball of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium, held together by its
own gravity

1.Stars, including the Sun, emit light because deep down at the core of a star
nuclear fusion reactions are happening.
These reactions produce an enormous amount of heat and light

2.Energy is produced in a star's center, where pressures are enormous and

temperatures reach 27 million�F (15 million�C).
This causes nuclear fusion�atoms of hydrogen are ripped apart and fuse (join) to
form helium.
These reactions release vast amounts of energy, which makes the star shine.

3.: forming or consisting of a large mass: : bulky. massive furniture. : weighty,

heavy

4. The stars are not fixed, but are constantly moving.

If you factor out the daily arcing motion of the stars across the sky due to the
earth's rotation,
you end up with a pattern of stars that seems to never change.

5.Stars appear to move from East to West as our Earth rotates from West to East.

Information about planets:

Most likely because they are too close to the Sun. Any moon with too great a
distance from these planets would be in an unstable orbit and be captured by the
Sun.
If they were too close to these planets they would be destroyed by tidal
gravitational forces.
