Star

Estrella

In a general sense, a star is every astronomical object that shines with its own light; While in more technical and precise terms it could be said that it is a plasma sphere that maintains its shape thanks to a hydrostatic balance of forces. The equilibrium occurs essentially between the force of gravity, which pushes matter towards the center of the star, and the pressure exerted by the plasma outwardly, which, as in a gas, tends to expand it. The pressure outside depends on the temperature, which in a typical case like that of the Sun is maintained with the energy produced inside the star. This balance will remain essentially the same as long as the star maintains the same rate of energy production. However, as explained below, this rhythm changes over time, generating variations in the global physical properties of the star that are part of its evolution. En sentido general, una estrella es todo objeto astronómico que brilla con luz propia; mientras que en términos más técnicos y precisos podría decirse que se trata de una esfera de plasma que mantiene su forma gracias a un equilibrio hidrostático de fuerzas. El equilibrio se produce esencialmente entre la fuerza de gravedad, que empuja la materia hacia el centro de la estrella, y la presión que ejerce el plasma hacia fuera, que, tal como sucede en un gas, tiende a expandirlo. La presión hacia fuera depende de la temperatura, que en un caso típico como el del Sol se mantiene con la energía producida en el interior de la estrella. Este equilibrio seguirá esencialmente igual en la medida de que la estrella mantenga el mismo ritmo de producción energética. Sin embargo, como se explica más adelante, este ritmo cambia a lo largo del tiempo, generando variaciones en las propiedades físicas globales del astro que constituyen parte de su evolución.
