All stars are formed the same way, they are all formed in clouds of gas and dust (name of author). Throughout the lifespan of a start ,the star would over go through various changes.

The nuclear reactions at the core of the star provide the star with sufficient energy to shine for many years ( name of author ). The amount of time that it takes for a star's light to reach earth depends on the location of the star. Usually the farther away the star the more dim its light would be and the closer the start results in a brighter and stronger light. For example the sun is 92.96 million miles from earth and its light travels 186,000 miles per second ( name of author). As a result of the speed of its light and its distance it takes a total of 8 minutes for the sunlight to reach earth. This means that if the sun were to suddenly disappear it would take people on earth 8 minutes to realize that there is no longer a sun ( name of author). Another example would be the distance of the second closest star ( name of star
