Abstract

The article deals with thermodynamics properties of stars, which are systems in hydrostatic and thermal equilibrium. Virial theorem, relationship of kinetic and gravitational potential energies of system particles of stars, is important for understanding the structure and evolutions of stars. It is a consequence of validity of hydrostatic equilibrium. Stability of the nuclear reactions and stars is produce the negative specific heat.
