Ask Prometheusa big hot matter form that makes light
Star (noun) means: a big hot matter form that makes light. It emerges from matter, energy, hot, big: hot matter in a stable large form interacts to release energy as light. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 20, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
Examples
- The Sun fuses 600 million tons of hydrogen into helium every second, emitting light and heat. [astronomy] physics
- Betelgeuse, a red supergiant in Orion, radiates visible and infrared light due to its high temperature and large size. [astronomy] astronomy
- Proxima Centauri, a small but hot star, emits light detectable from Earth despite being 4.24 light-years away. [astronomy] astronomy
Emergence
through: hot matter in a stable large form interacts to release energy as light
- self-sustaining energy emission
- stable high-temperature structure
- luminous spatial presence
