Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines "star" as "a self-luminous gaseous spheroidal celestial body of great mass which produces energy by means of nuclear fusion reactions." So, yes, in more simple terms, it is a big ball of burning gas.

Why do comets tail always stream away from the sun?
Comet tails always stream away from the sun due to the solar wind, which is a stream of charged particles emitted by the sun. The solar wind pushes against the gas and dust particles in the comet's coma (a cloud of gas and dust surrounding the nucleus) and causes them to form a tail that points away from the sun.
