Unlike a planet, from which most light is reflected, a star emits light because of its intense heat. Scientifically, stars are defined as self-gravitating spheres of plasma in hydrostatic equilibrium, which generate their own energy through the process of nuclear fusion. Stellar astronomy is the study of stars. Star Formation Star formation is the process by which hydrogen & helium in molecular clouds change into the ball of plasma we call a star.

Astronomers are debating the classification of a potential tenth planet and other trans-Neptunian objects.
