It occurs because of the distance between the stars and the Earth. But did you notice that certain stars are slightly brighter than others? How is it? It also occurs at the same rate as the distance between the stars and our planet. The solution is simple: the brighter stars must be closer to Earth. Have you ever wondered where they acquire enough light to convey it to Earth and make it visible to people with their bare eyes? Have you ever pondered how billions of light-years away the stars may still glow brightly in the night sky? Okay, let’s solve the puzzles one by one. First, how did they shine brighter despite being billions of light-years away? The distance between the stars and Earth is 4.246 light-years. The stated distance refers to the nearest star to Earth, known as Proxima. The stars are producing their own light to shine. The stars are largely loaded with hydrogen gas. So, they use the process of fusion to make their own light. Stars, like the sun, go through a fusion process to produce their own light. The stars only shine at night because the sun’s strongest light illuminates the entire Earth. Similarly, the stars illuminate the night with their small, brighter blinkings. Now, let’s get to the last question: yes, we know the stars are…read more on NOPR
