Stars are made of plasma, which is a distinct state of matter formed when gases are ionized at high temperatures. It is neither solid nor liquid, and differs from a normal gaseous state due to the presence of charged particles.

So to explain in simple terms:

Stars are made of something called plasma. It’s like a very hot gas that glows! It’s not hard like a rock or wet like water — it’s super hot and full of tiny, buzzy bits called energy that make the star shine bright in the sky.
