Question

Why is the sun called a star? Explain with an example.

Answer 1

Sun called as Star:

1. The sun is almost entirely made up of hydrogen and helium gas.
2. A star is a brilliant ball of gas, often hydrogen and helium, that is held together by its own gravity. Nuclear fusion events in the star's core provide gravity support as well as photons and heat, as well as modest amounts of heavier elements.
3. Our sun is a medium-sized star, there are smaller and larger stars, some of which are a hundred times larger than our Sun.
4. Temperatures in the millions of degrees celsius in its deep core retain nuclear fusion, providing a source of energy for the sun. The Sun frequently displays some dark splotches. These sunspots are places where magnetic fields are concentrated.

Therefore, the sun is frequently described as an 'ordinary' star.
