Because they convert mass into energy by fusing atoms together. The energy they produce appears somewhat similar to that produced by a furnace inasmuch as it consists in part of heat and light.
It is in the stars that the heavier elements (basically, anything after element #2, helium) are made.It is in the stars that the heavier elements (basically, anything after element #2, helium) are made.It is in the stars that the heavier elements (basically, anything after element #2, helium) are made.It is in the stars that the heavier elements (basically, anything after element #2, helium) are made.
That means that heavier elements are made from lighter elements in stars - and especially in supernovae. Basically ALL the heavier elements (other than hydrogen and helium) on Earth were, at some time, created in stars.
Nuclear Fusion occurs in the core of stars.
At the suns and stars.
The Stars & Bars.
Because by definition, that is what a star is - it is a huge ball of hydrogen, who's temperature and pressure near it's core is constantly converting hydrogen into helium by nuclear fusion. In two words, an "atomic furnace".

The Hour of the Furnaces was created in 1968.
The Fiery Furnaces was created in 2000.
Shooting stars or falling stars.
The union of lightweight atomic nuclei is called nuclear fusion. This process occurs when two or more atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a significant amount of energy in the process. Fusion is the fundamental reaction that powers stars, including our Sun, and is responsible for the production of heavier elements in the universe.
