types of stars exist inside?

• Galaxy - a collection of billions of stars and various amounts of gas held together by gravity
•Average galaxies have around 100 billion stars

•Nuclear Fusion - the combining of smaller elements to form the nuclei of larger elements
•The Sun converts hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei

•Luminosity - a measure on how bright a star is compared to our Sun
• Luminosity and temperature are used in classifying the different types of stars on a H-R Diagram

• Stars have a life cycle and undergo stellar evolution
• Stars originate from a cloud of dust and gases
•Gravity causes them to clump together and form larger balls of dust and gases
•When gravitational contraction creates enough heat they ignite and start nuclear fusion

• Main Sequence Star - average size, temperature, and luminosity stars
• 90% of the known stars spend their life on the main sequence
•The Sun is apart of the main sequence
