star shape

Pointed radial form

A star shape is a geometric figure with points radiating from a center, like a simplified representation of a celestial star.

The most common form has five points, though stars can have any number.

Children draw star shapes; cookies get cut into them; gold star shapes reward good work.

The term describes both the outline and filled versions of this pointed figure.
