Stars are like giant balloons, some are filled with more stuff and grow really big, others have just enough to stay small. When a star is born, it depends on how much material it has around it. If there's lots of gas and dust nearby, the star grows bigger; if there's not much, it stays tiny. That’s why we see some stars that are huge and others that are little.
Examples
- Imagine baking a cake, if you have more ingredients, it comes out bigger and fluffier.
