[edit] fixipixi!!

Nice stub (for me that is)! But more that is needed is the difference in internal structure between different kinds of stars, f.ex.:

Mainseq CNO-burners have a convective core, a radiative envelope, and maybe a very shallow convective surface,

Mainseq bright PP-burners have a deep convective envelope, and a radiative core,

Mainseq faint PP-burners are entirely convective,

Red giant this and that, AGB giant this and that, supergiant this and that, and presupernova onion star this and that.

Done for the first three, but I only put in a very brief mention of giants. If the new energy transport section isn't clear (it probably isn't!), please help it, or I can try. Ashill (talk) 02:53, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] dejargonizurger

Added a {{cleanup-jargon}} thereby intending that the language is written like only mathematicians and physicists can understand this topic, which is mostly not true, if the details are carefully explained in common English. There's not much wrong with the physics section, it just needs to connect to common knowledge so that the why (what it explains) of a certain formula becomes clear.
