The sun is not made of stars. The sun is a star.The Sun has no official name according to the International Astronomical Union, the body responsible for naming celestial objects. The name Sol , is accepted but not commonly used; the adjectival form is the related word solar. "Sol" is the modern word for "Sun" in many other languages
In a manner of speaking. The Sun is a Population I type star, which means it's relatively metal-rich. Since the Sun can't fuse its own metals, it must have gotten those from the remains of novae that made them before they died. Of course, we also are made of dead stars, since our bodies depend on elements (including the iron in our blood) that couldn't have been made by the Sun.

Is the sun the hottest among all-stars?
No, the sun is not the hottest of all stars. There are stars that are up to 7 times hotter than the sun.
When you look up into the sky you can see stars that no longer exist Explain how this is possible?
This is possible because the Sun shines on the dead star making it bright when you see it from Earth. :-)
How is the sun similar to the stars?
The sun is similar to other stars because it is a self-luminous sphere of hot gas that emits energy through nuclear fusion at its core. Like other stars, the sun is a massive celestial body that radiates light and heat into space.
What is the sun made up of that other stars are made of?
The sun and other stars are primarily made up of hydrogen and helium gases. The process of nuclear fusion converts the hydrogen into helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. Other elements are also present in smaller quantities, formed through fusion reactions in the cores of stars.
Can you see a constellation when the sun is out?
The sun's light makes the stars fade from view... since constellations are made up from patterns of stars, the answer is no - BUT they're still there in the sky - we just can't see them. In fact - the stars that are in the sky during the day, are the ones we see at night 6 months later.
What is the sun and many other stars made of?
the sun is made up of many gases that spontanious combust together creating flares. the stars are made by an exposion of another. so in a nutshell stars are pretty nuch made up of "stardust".
Since the Earth is made up largely of heavier elements what would you conclude about its relative age?
The earth is younger then most stars and is made up from the remains of dead stars.
What do stars have insie of it?
Stars are made up of certain gases which burn and show off light. The sun is the closet star to earth.
What is the made up of hot glowing gases mainly hydrogen and helium?
Stars like our sun.
Is the sun the hottest among all-stars?
No, the sun is not the hottest of all stars. There are stars that are up to 7 times hotter than the sun.
Where does plasma exist in the greatest quantity?
Plasma exists in the greatest quantity in stars, such as the Sun. The Sun's core is made up of extremely hot plasma where nuclear fusion processes occur.
How do stars such as the sun produce light?
Burns and the sun makes stars light up as the light is reflected........
Why are there stars up in the sky?
The 'stars' are any celestial object that reflects the light from the sun... This can be something as small as a man-made satellite - or as large as a whole galaxy !
Do all galaxies have stars?
Every galaxy has billions of stars. Each of those stars is like the Sun, but some are larger or smaller, and they can have different colors.
What Is the second lightest and second most abundant element found in stars 25 percent of the Sun is made from this element?
The second lightest and second most abundant element found in stars, making up about 25% of the Sun, is helium. Helium is formed through nuclear fusion in stars, with hydrogen being the most abundant element in stars like the Sun.
When you look up into the sky you can see stars that no longer exist Explain how this is possible?
This is possible because the Sun shines on the dead star making it bright when you see it from Earth. :-)
Are stars made up of plasma?
Yes. Stars are made of plasma.
