What are stars made of?

Stars aren't solid like the ground beneath our feet. Instead, they are made of gases like the air around us.

The two main gases in stars are called hydrogen and helium. They are the stars' fuel. 

Stars make heat and light from them.

The fact about stars :-

• The brightest star we can see in the night sky is called Sirius. Another name for it is the dog star. It is about twice as big as our Sun, but it gives out more than twenty times as much light.
• Huge flame-light sheets of glowing gas shoot out from a star. These are called Prominences.
