Stars are there to be wished upon although I doubt they know. It's nice tocatch a falling star and put it in your pocket etc. They make the sky pretty if nothing else. Rainbows are there to remind us of the beauty and simplicity of natures miraculous gifts. Life sucks because we have forgotten to look at the world as a child and see the beauty that surrounds us. There are too many people who have moved away from the life humans are meant to live, with their selfishness, greed and hate often giftwrapped as my god is better than yours. If we became as children and saw the wonder maybe life wouldn't suck so much.

Stars are big fiery balls of gas. Essentially the gases cluster together and become stars through gravity and fusion. It's a rather complicated process; check the link below for a more detailed explanation. Stars appear to be in our sky because they are in space. Most stars appear to be small points of light, although many of these stars are smaller than our sun. The sun simply appears larger because it is much nearer to the Earth.

Stars : They are a round globe of fire just like sun.WHat makes them twinkle is due to refraction.As they travel very very long distances the light rays from stars undergo refraction which causes us to believe that stars are continuously changeing positions. rainbows are there for us to enjoy its beauty. Life catches you at wrong times,bcoz it is what life is.FULL OF CHALLENGE. Battle it out and WIN.

I think there are stars for us to make wishes on. I guess life can't always be the way we want it to, I mean if it were, then we would all get bored real quick.

there are different "suns" in the universe, which act as if they are stars ;)
