Abstract :

Following Sir A.S. Eddington’s work on the interior of gaseous stars, we derive a simple equation that gives opacity of a star which depends on the mass of the star and another stellar parameter. We compare our result with the existing result of Kramer. We conclude that massive gaseous stars have lower density and higher temperature than low mass gaseous stars.
