answer:

stars create new elements in their cores by squeezing elements together in a process called nuclear fusion

Step-by-step explanation:

  • stars are made of very hot gas
  • this gas is mostly hydrogen and helium, which are the two lightest elements
  • stars shine by burning hydrogen into helium in their cores, and later in their lives create heavier elements
