Solution

Star:

  1. A star is a massive ball of hot, glowing matter in space. That substance is known as plasma.
  2. Gravity holds stars together. Because they are red and small, the smallest stars are known as red dwarfs.
  3. The stars like our sun are the next category up. Medium mass, medium brightness, and medium life expectancy.
  4. They emit radiation across the visible spectrum, giving them a nice white appearance.
  5. A star forms from a massive, slowly rotating cloud composed entirely or nearly entirely of hydrogen and helium.
