There are two main forces acting in a star: Gravitational contraction: it is due to the higher layers, this force pushes mass to the center. Radiation pressure: it is produced by the inner layers, and it forces material upwards.

This unique encyclopedia provides a fascinating and fully comprehensive description of stars and their natures and is filled with beautiful color images. The book begins with ancient astronomy – with constellations and star names – and then proceeds to modern coordinate systems.
One of our goals in this class is to be able to describe not just the observ-able, exterior properties of a star, but to understand all the layers of these cosmic onions — from the observable properties of their outermost layers to the physics that occurs in their cores.
Evolution of stars. ⚫ When we talk about stellar evolution we mean on changes that occur in stars as they consume "fuel" , since their birth through their long life, and until. they die. The Ring Nebula, a dying star. Source: NASA. Understanding the evolution of stars help astronomers to understand: The nature and future fate of our Sun.
The star clusters where supermassive stars form are especially dense and chaotic places, and the more massive members of a stel - lar cluster tend to appear toward its center.
layers (the layers dominated by convective gas motions). Helioseismology is the name given to the study of these oscillations in the Sun, and astroseismology is the term used for other stars.
