J OUGHTA KNOW By ARKADY LEOKUM The stars in the sky are really huge balls of bright, hot gases. Stars look like tiny points of light only because they are far away from the earth. The sun is a star and it is 1.3 million times larger than the earth. Many stars are about the same size as the sun. Stars contain a great deal of hydrogen, which is their main source of energy. Stars also contain many other elements, such as helium, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, nickel and zinc. But all these elements remain in a gaseous state because of the great heat of the star. Stars give off large amounts of heat, light and other forms of energy. This energy comes from nuclear reactions that take place deep within the star. The reactions are like the nuclear reactions that take place when a hydrogen bomb exa very small amount plodes of matter produces a very large amount of energy. So stars can shine for millions or billions of years before running out of nuclear fuel. The brightest stars are thousands of times brighter than the sun. They are usually larger than the sun and are quite hot as well. The dimmest stars are usually small and fairly cool. They may be 10 times smaller than the sun and contain TOO as much matter. Some stars are extremely large. Because of their size, they are called giants or super-giantThe star called Betel-geusin the constellation Orion, is a supergiant more than 30 million times larger) than the sun.
