Stellar equilibrium is a balance between gravitational forces pulling inward and the outward pressure from nuclear fusion occurring in a star's core. Gravity tries to collapse the star, while the energy produced from fusion generates radiation pressure that pushes outward. This delicate balance maintains the star's stability throughout its life cycle. Disruptions to this equilibrium can lead to various stellar phenomena, including explosive events like supernovae.
