Astronomers measure the brightness of stars using light-years. This means that the light we see now left in that years ago, traveling through space in that distance at kilometer per second.

A star is born, it radiates energy for a long time, toward the end it expands, it may or may not explode, and then it dies. It vary in sizes, masses and surface temperature range. The colors of stars reflect their surface temperature. Their relative brightness is expressed in a scale of six magnitudes. The brightest the stars are first-magnitude stars, while the dimmest are sixth-magnitude stars.
 
The lower the number, the brighter the star.

For example:
                      Star color                        Surface Temperature
                     Blue-white                         around 25 000 K & higher
                     white                                  around 10 000 K
                     yellow                                around 7 000 K
                     Red                                    around 5 000 K & lower

Explanation:

In the process of nuclear fission,1__one atom splits___.Fission only happens to very 2(__large___) atoms.The Fission process usually also produces several free 3(__neutrons___).

Nuclear fission is a radioactive decay process in which heavy and unstable radioactive nucleus decays into lighter ones with the release of energy and free neutrons.

Fission differs from fusion in that in nuclear fusion, two light atoms comes together to form a large one. This process releases a very great amount of energy.
