A star is a luminous celestial body of plasma, having a spherical shape and held together by its own gravity.
The nearest star to Earth is the Sun, which is the source of most of the planet's energy. Some other stars are visible from Earth during the night, appearing as a multitude of fixed luminous points due to their immense distance.
