OverviewAI-generated

A star is an astronomical object, fusor, and light source located in the universe. It is composed of plasma and functions as a light source. Stars are part of star systems and are studied by the field of astronomy. The subject is distinct from the term "Star" and has a next lower rank of planet and a next higher rank of black hole.

Common characteristics of stars include a stellar magnetic field and apparent magnitude. Model items representing this class include UY Scuti, the Pistol Star, and giant stars. The topic is described by sources such as the Bible Encyclopedia of Archimandrite Nicephorus, the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, The Nuttall Encyclopædia, and the Encyclopædia Britannica 11th edition. It is referenced by 12,245 other encyclopedia articles.

Een ster is een bolvormig hemellichaam bestaande uit lichtgevend plasma met daarin voornamelijk (ongeveer 72% van de massa) waterstof en daarnaast ongeveer 26% helium. In sterren is de druk en temperatuur van de inwendige gasconcentratie zo hoog dat er kernfusiereacties plaatsvinden. Daarbij wordt een enorme hoeveelheid energie geproduceerd die door de ster wordt uitgezonden vanuit de steratmosfeer als elektromagnetische straling met verschillende golflengten, waaronder zichtbaar licht. Ook de eindstadia van sterren, de witte dwergen en neutronensterren, waarin de kernfusie tot een einde is gekomen, worden tot de sterren gerekend. De structuur van een ster hangt af van massa en evolutiestadium. De dichtstbijzijnde ster is voor ons de Zon. Daarna volgt Proxima Centauri.
