Stars are made of very hot gas. This gas is mostly hydrogen and helium, which are the two lightest elements. Stars shine by burning hydrogen into helium in their cores, and later in their lives create heavier elements. Every element was made in the dying microseconds of a star. Our sun is an average sized star. Relative to other stars in the Universe, it is actually quite small. Most of the stars we see at night are much bigger than the sun, but are really far away, so they look much smaller.
