1 What is a star? A star is a giant ball of gases held together by gravity. It makes heat and light. Different stars produce different amounts of energy. The amount of energy given off determines the star's surface temperature and color. Red stars are cooler, yellow stars like our sun are a little hotter, and blue stars are the hottest.
