The defining characteristic of a star is that it is large enough, hot enough, and has enough pressure, to sustain nuclear fusion. In general, stars are typically larger, more massive, hotter, and have greater pressure in their cores, than planets. As a result of their nuclear fusion, their surface temperature is typically at least a few thousand kelvin, and they are quite bright.
