You can determine what a star is made of by close examination of the light that it emits. Every different substance emits a different combination of light frequencies when it is heated to the point at which it glows. You can pass light through a prism and break it up into its component frequencies (or colors) and analyse them in great detail, with the right kind of equipment and training.

How star made of?
Our Sun is about 70% Hydrogen and 28% Helium by mass, with traces of heavier elements. Other stars can be a little different, but with a spectrometer, scientists are able to determine the elements that are present in any star.
