Yes, stars are considered matter because they are composed of atoms and particles that have mass and take up space. They consist primarily of hydrogen and helium, undergoing nuclear fusion to produce energy, light, and heat. As celestial objects, stars play a crucial role in the universe's structure and evolution.

How do stars recycle matter?

I guess that refers to the fact that matter from stars goes into outer space in supernova explosions, and part of that matter participates in the formation of new stars. Please note that this can't continue indefinitely; the percentage of heavier elements in this "recycled" matter increases over time, thus reducing the amount of fuel for new stars; also, when stars die, they leave a remainder - a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole - that does NOT go back into space.


How are stars dust and gas related to dark matter?

Stars, gas, and dust are all categorized as visible matter, not "dark" matter, but, since dark matter does not interact electromagnetically, the behavior of ordinary matter is used to study dark matter through their gravitational effects. You might say that stars, gas, and dust are like the leaves blowing in an invisible wind; the force can be perceived by the effects on the leaves even if you can't see the wind directly.


What is matter anything occupying and having?

The common definition of matter is anything that has mass and volumeIt also occupies space, by example in white dwarf stars and neutron stars, where the exclusion principle clearly relates matter to the occupation of space.


What do scientist think was responsible for clumping together matter forming the fist stars after the big bang?

Scientists believe that the clumping together of matter to form the first stars after the Big Bang was primarily due to the force of gravity. Gravity caused regions of slightly denser matter to attract more matter towards them, leading to the formation of proto-stars. Over time, these proto-stars accumulated enough mass and pressure to ignite nuclear fusion, giving birth to the first stars in the universe.
