Star
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
A star is an enormous sphere of immensely hot hydrogen and helium that undergoes nuclear fusion to produce heat and light (in essence, it is a giant ball of plasma). Systems of planets will usually form around stars when the gas and dust around them becomes stable enough. Stars can come in all sorts of sizes, colors, and temperatures. Most planets are seen orbiting medium mass orange-yellow stars, often called suns.
It is estimated that there were four hundred billion stars in the galaxy.
