What is the function of the stars???

Question

What is the function of the stars???

Answer 1

To twinkle.

Answer 2

They convert hydrogen to helium (and heavier elements) through fusion, while releasing light and radiation/heat.

Answer 3

A question about function requires design, and the universe wasn't designed - at least in a science and maths forum.

Answer 4

The function of the stars are to TWINKLE.

Answer 5

Stars shine ...

"The song a robin sings,

Through years of endless springs,

The murmur of a brook at evening tides.

That ripples through a nook where two lovers hide."

"That great symphonic theme,

That's Stella by starlight,

And not a dream,

My heart and I agree,

She's everything on this earth to me."

Answer 6

uhh wow ur asking that?how old r u

Answer 7

2 b shiny

Answer 8

Stars provide heat, light, and an orbital point for their planets.  That is what they do for us, and any other life forms in the universe.

Answer 9

Twinkling in the sky.

Answer 10

They catch your dreams and they make them come true. ;)

Answer 11

They are suns for other solar systems.  Our Sun, is a star to another galaxy far away.

Answer 12

Depends on what function they're for.  For humans, the Sun (star) provides energy - it heats our planet, provides light for photosynthesis so plants and algae can grow, gives our planet the seasons, affects the tides.  

As for the other stars, they're useful for navigation/astrology, as well as learning about the origins of the universe.

Answer 13

The distribution of stellar masses that form in one star formation event in a given volume of space is called the initial mass function (IMF). The IMF has been estimated from low-mass brown dwarfs to very massive stars. Combining IMF estimates for different populations in which the stars can be observed individually unveils an extraordinary uniformity of the IMF. This general insight appears to hold for populations including present-day star formation in small molecular clouds, rich and dense massive star-clusters forming in giant clouds, through to ancient and metal-poor exotic stellar populations that may be dominated by dark matter. This apparent universality of the IMF is a challenge for star formation theory, because elementary considerations suggest that the IMF ought to systematically vary with star-forming conditions.

Answer 14

The most basic element in the universe is Hydrogen.  The only way any other elements form is through the actions of stars.  Stars begin as large clouds of hydrogen gas that collect until either they become massive enough to collapse on their own, or they become almost massive enough, and then a shockwave (perhaps a nearby supernova) pushes it in further.

The pressure from all of this hydrogen builds up enough to cause fusion into helium.  Through more or less similar processes, all of the other natural elements are formed in stars.

Answer 15

those days when there were no maps,,,,,travellers use the stars to navigate their ways.....tho i guess today...it is of great use too as far as navigation is concerned....

apart from tat....personally i dont believe,,,but there are those who are firm believers in astrology and fortune-telling....

Answer 16

NOTHING.......they are just astral objects  sitting in space.

Answer 17

In the first place, if stars were not there, you would not be here to post this question. In fact, no element heavier than hydrogen and helium, including nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, sulphur, and the like, which are essential for us just to be built, would be there. Nuclear fusion at the very heart of massive stars brings heavier elements into existence. The source of heat and energy is a later issue.

Answer 18

stars Are Really far away...Suns.  

they are there because they are.

what is the function of you?
