Stars shine because they are extremely hot with surface temperatures of thousands to tens of thousands of degrees. They are heated by a process called nuclear fusion, in which hydrogen atoms fuse together for form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy. The stars only appear small because they are unimaginably far away. They are, in reality, enormous, far larger than Earth. The stars are suns similar to our own, some even bigger and brighter, only appearing as tiny specks of light due to their great distance.
