Gas Clouds (of Hydrogen), starts contracting under the influence of gravitational pull of gas.

As it's contracting, it's pressure & temperature increases, it is called "Protostar" now.

When Temperature become sufficiently high (4 million C), Nuclear fusion starts, & large amount of energy releases.

Energy Travels to star's surface and is radiated in the form of light, heat & EM Radiation.

The contraction of star stops only when "Inward Gravitational pull" is balanced by "Outward Radiant Energy". At this time, star becomes stable in size & temperature.

Contraction continues, 'causes star's outer region to 'boil' & 'expand'. At this stage, it becomes brightest, red giant.

As fuel burns, helium nuclei fuses & form Carbon nuclei further to silicon & further to Iron Nuclei by progressive Nuclear Fusions. At all this stages, star was very unstable.

Star end it's life in many different way & it depends on it's mass, whether it ends as "White Dwarf", "Neutron Star" or "Supernova"

This was a short note on life story of star. Hope this helps!

The beginning development of a star is marked by a supernova explosion, with the gases present in the nebula being forced to scatter. As the star shrinks, radiation of the surface increases and create pressure on the outside shell to push it away and forming a planetary nebula or white dwarf.

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.
