    second. An important part of our visible universe are stars. A star is born when atoms of light elements are squeezed under enough pressure for their nuclei to undergo fusion. All stars are a result of force: the force of gravity compresses atoms in interstellar gas until the fusion reaction begins. Stars come in different sizes. The smallest star is called the M- type or the M star. They are just big enough to initiate nuclear fusion at its core. If they were smaller, they would be brown…
