EzraA star is a massive, luminous sphere of plasma held together by its own gravity. Stars are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, and they generate energy through nuclear fusion in their cores. The intense heat and pressure at the core of a star produce light and heat that radiate outwards, making stars appear bright and glowing.
