YOGYAKARTA In the solar system, a celestial body that can emit its own light is known as a star.

Stars that appear to cheat at night do not reflect light from the sun. The celestial body has its own light emitted from its body.

The moon, planet, or several other celestial bodies can emit light because they reflect sunlight.

The above has been mentioned that celestial objects that can emit their own light are called stars.

The light emitted by the star comes from the nuclear fusion reaction to the core of the star. Even so, the beam of light is not as strong as the sun, so that at night, the star's light only appears to be shiny.

According to Puspa Swara's book 1100++ Full Facts of Mystery (2011), here are various facts about stars that you need to know:

Stars in the Milky Way galaxy are very similar to the sun. However, because the sun is closest to the earth, the sun looks the brightest among other stars. This celestial object can be seen very clearly from Earth because of the ability of light to emit far away.

For additional information, light can emit at a speed of almost 300,000 kilometers per second. With this speed, the light of the Sun reaches Earth within 8 minutes. In comparison, the Sun's light will reach other stars closest in more than 4 years.
