A star is matter being compressed (by the force of gravity) wich in turn heats the star and is the mechanism for Nuclear Fussion, subsequently the star expands ( gravity vs. heat). A Quasar on the other hand is not a star at all, it is, in fact dust wich is being pulled towards a Supermassive Black hole (usually at the center of a Galaxy), the dust being Super-accelerated, and rubbing (friction) against other particles, heats up to an incredible temperature and emits extra-ordinary bright light, which we have come to know as Quasars (accretion disc of dust around Supermassice Black hole)
What else can I help you with?
Why are quasars called radio stars?
Quasars emit strong radio waves in addition to other forms of radiation like visible light. These radio emissions can be detected by radio telescopes, which is why quasars are sometimes colloquially referred to as "radio stars."
What was proved was not a star in 1963?
Around that time, it became clear that quasars were not stars.
Are quasars closest to earth?
No, quasars are not the closest objects to Earth. Quasars are extremely bright and distant celestial objects located billions of light-years away, typically at the centers of galaxies. The closest stars to Earth are in our own Milky Way galaxy.
Are quasars and pulsars visible to the naked eye?
No, quasars and pulsars are not visible to the naked eye from Earth. Quasars are extremely distant and faint celestial objects, while pulsars are neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation which are not usually visible to the human eye. Both require specialized equipment for observation.
What is the universe's primary source of light?
The universe's primary source of light is stars. Stars are massive balls of gas that undergo nuclear fusion, generating heat and light that radiates out into space. Other sources of light in the universe include galaxies, quasars, and other celestial objects.
Are brighter than stars.?
Quasars A+
Can quasars be mistaken for stars since they're distant galaxies with an active nucleus at the center of it?
No they cannot be mistaken for stars as stars can be seen by the human eye & Quasars cannot.
What do the largest and brightest galaxies contain?
quasars.
The first quasars were called?
Radio Stars

Distant radio sources that resemble stars?
quasars
How do you know that quasars are not just nearby stars?
The light from quasars - all quasars - is shifted far to the red side of the spectrum. This means that they are moving away from us, at a very high rate of speed. They cannot be "nearby", for that, and a lot of other sound, scientific reasons.

Around that time, it became clear that quasars were not stars.
What color stars with q?
Quasars are not actually stars, but extremely energetic and distant objects in the universe, emitting massive amounts of energy.
Are quasars closest to earth?
No, quasars are not the closest objects to Earth. Quasars are extremely bright and distant celestial objects located billions of light-years away, typically at the centers of galaxies. The closest stars to Earth are in our own Milky Way galaxy.
Are quasars much larger than stars?
Yes, a average quasar is the size of our solar system
What things in space give your their own light?
Stars, galaxies, and quasars are among celestial objects that emit their own light. Stars, such as our Sun, undergo nuclear fusion to produce light and heat. Galaxies contain billions of stars and emit light due to the combined glow of these stars. Quasars are supermassive black holes with surrounding disks of gas that emit powerful radiation.
