The twinkling stars at night

Have you ever heard a myth(how raven stole the sun)about the stars when you were little because I have. I have just learnt in school what the lifecycle of stars is. I have also just learnt that the sun is one of the smallest stars in our solar system.

Information about the stars

Stars have lots of great things about them and I am going to tell you three things you probably didn’t know about them. When stars are first born they have to battle with the gravity to stay in the air. Stars are normally one to ten billion years old. My last fact about stars is that there are 40 billion in five billion galaxies.

Appearance

Stars are made by their black bodies. Did you, know that the second brightest star in the whole solar system  is one of the smallest stars in our solar system and that’s the sun. There are lots of stars in the sky but not all of them you can see. When the stars are shining down they do not give out enough steady light.  

Types of stars

The sun is a dwarf star,  The biggest star in our solar system can make it’s own huge galaxy.have you ever wondered what a shooting stars is, shooting star isn’t a star it is really a meteor that is flying through the night sky. An did you know that a exploding star, supernova , can generate shock waves so powerful that they compress a nearby nebular.

Life cycle

For a star to be born it needs a clump of dust and gas which is called Nebulae. When the stars are red giants they form a supergiant then they pleasure into a blackhole. Did you know that the sun is 5 billion years old.The force of gravity inside is so intense that nothing can escape it, not even light can escape it.

I hope you have learnt something from this information report and it encourages you to write you own. If you want some more information on the stars you can look at my friends at hay park blogs thank you for reading.
