How is a star officially defined?

According to astronomers, stars originate from massive interstellar gas clouds. However, they only qualify as actual stars once they generate sufficient gravitational pressure to sustain the fusion of hydrogen into helium over an extended timeframe. This process produces the powerful heat and light that define a star. In cases where fusion does not occur, the gas cloud remains a "failed star," commonly referred to as a brown dwarf.
