Why Are Stars Hot? Stars are fiery giants because of gravity and nuclear fusion. If a mass of gas—at least 80 times Jupiter’s size—collapses under its own gravity, the intense pressure ignites fusion, turning hydrogen into helium and releasing enormous energy. This process generates immense heat and light, making stars shine for billions of years.... Continue Reading →
