The Stars!!

in #science6 years ago

Hello Friends of steemit !! Today I come to talk a little about the Stars ..

A star is a luminous plasma sphere that maintains its shape thanks to its own gravity. The closest star to Earth is the sun.

Other stars are visible to the naked eye from Earth during the night, appearing as a diversity of fixed points of light in the sky due to its immense distance from it.

Because of the gravitational attraction, the matter of the stars tends to concentrate at its center. But that causes its temperature and pressure to increase. From certain limits, this increase causes nuclear reactions that release energy and balance the force of gravity, so that the size of the star remains more or less stable for a while, emitting large amounts of radiation into space, including , of course, the light!

Curious fact!!

The largest star in the known Universe is 165,000 times larger than our Sun, and is called NML Cygni. Its size is so gigantic that inside it could contain up to 165 billion planets the size of Earth. The NML Cygni star is big enough to reach from Earth to Jupiter's orbit in our Solar System. NML Cygni is 5,300 light years from Earth.

Well friends of steemit this was the whole post !! I hope you liked it there!
