They are the same thing. Another way to think of it is that the sun is a star. A star is a ball of superheated gas, mostly hydrogen. At the center of most stars is a core where immense heat nd pressure causes hydrogen to undergo nuclear fusion, becoming helium. This is what the sun is. It is now being found that many stars have their own solar systems.
What else can I help you with?
Do we see stars in the sky because they reflect the sun's light?
No. The stars are distant suns that emit their own light.
Why does the moon get light from the sun rather than other stars?
The amount of light that reaches our solar system from stars other than the sun is very small becuase they are so distant. Technically, light from some those stars does relflect off the moon, but the amount is far too small for us to see.
Who is big sun or stars?
Some stars are larger than our sun while some are not.
Why do we usually only see constellations at night?
During the day, the Sun is out and brightens the sky. Since the Sun is so close to Earth (compared to the stars we see at night), the Sun's light overpowers the light coming from the distant stars. However, at night the Sun's light is not present to wash out the light from the stars, so the stars can finally be seen. The constellations that one sees at night arises from the groupings of various stars.
Which of the following is not a reason that astronomers have trouble viewing distant stars?
Distant stars give off less light
Why do stars are considered distant sun?
Because the sun is a star. We just distinguish it because in history it always seemed something different (it being so close and big to our eyes).
Why are star distant sun?
because stars are balls of hot burning gases like our sun
What happens to the sun when the stars are shining?
Nothing. The stars shine all the time; the amount of radiation that the Sun receives from distant stars is so insignificant that it won't noticeable affect the Sun.
Do we see stars in the sky because they reflect the sun's light?
No. The stars are distant suns that emit their own light.
When was Distant Stars created?
Distant Stars was created in 1981.
How many pages does Distant Stars have?
Distant Stars has 352 pages.
Why does the sun appear larger than other stars in the sky?
The sun appears larger than other stars in the sky because it is much closer to Earth than those stars. This proximity makes the sun's size and brightness more prominent in our view compared to the distant stars.
What evidence is there that Earth revolves around the Sun?
We can observe nearby stars moving forward and back against the background of distant stars (parallax). Scientific analysis coupled with observations show that the Earth is held in its orbit by the gravitational force of the Sun which is far more massive than the Earth.
Name given to a distant sun?
A distant sun can be referred to as a star. Stars are luminous celestial bodies composed of hot gases that emit light and heat energy. They play a crucial role in the universe by providing light and energy to planets like our own Sun does for Earth.
Why does the moon get light from the sun rather than other stars?
The amount of light that reaches our solar system from stars other than the sun is very small becuase they are so distant. Technically, light from some those stars does relflect off the moon, but the amount is far too small for us to see.
When was Distant Sun created?
Distant Sun was created in 1993-09.
Who is big sun or stars?
Some stars are larger than our sun while some are not.
