All the stars are spheres of glowing gas; many are millions of miles in diameter. Some are 10,000 times as thin as Earth's air at sea level, and some are so dense that a cupful of their substance would weigh tons on Earth. Star interiors have temperatures measured in millions of degrees, and at their surfaces temperatures up to 55,000 ° F are common.

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Astronomía
CONT

El estudio de las estrellas constituye el objetivo principal de la actividad de los astrónomos. Todas tienen el carácter común de su constitución gaseosa. A pesar de esta circunstancia y de ser visibles en el cielo como puntos luminosos aparentemente semejantes, difieren considerablemente unas de otras por el estado de su materia, por sus temperaturas y presiones internas, la índole de las reacciones que se desarrollan en su seno y por sus dimensiones.
