... Stars are created in swirling masses of gas and dust particles called a nebula. A star is fueled by internal nuclear energy, in a process called thermonuclear fusion, and it stays together due to the forces of its own gravitation. The hotter a star’s core, or center, the more reactions it produces. ...
