No, they are ionized gases thrown off stars near the end of their fusion cycles. They are expanding clouds of matter, quite different from the nebulae in which stars form.

What are the different types of nebula and how do they differ from each other?

There are mainly four types of nebulae: emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, dark nebulae, and planetary nebulae. Emission nebulae glow due to the energy emitted by nearby stars, reflection nebulae reflect light from nearby stars, dark nebulae are dense clouds that block light, and planetary nebulae are the remnants of dying stars. Each type of nebula differs in its composition, appearance, and the processes that create them.


What are small nebulae about 1 lightyear in diameter that contain 10 to 1000 solar masses?

These are typically called Bok globules. They are dense, cold clouds of gas and dust where new stars are born. Due to their small size and high density, they are often considered as potential sites for the formation of star clusters or individual stars.


How does a nebulae forms?

There are several stages involved in the making of a planetary nebula. Take the sun for example, which is of course a star. Eventually the sun will run out of "fuel" (hydrogen) and grow to a red giant, and then when it's completely out "fuel" the sun will loose it's blown up outter layers and that layer will form a ring of gas around the remaining star. After that it will just be a white dwarf left, doomed to a slow death! Now, this was a long story short. But I think you can read more about it on some other sites!


How does a planetary nebula form?

A planetary nebula is created when a star blows off its outer layers after it has run out of fuel to burn. These outer layers of gas expand into space, forming a nebula, which is often the shape of a ring or bubble. About 200 years ago, William Herschel called these spherical clouds planetary nebulae because they were round like the planets. At the center of a planetary nebula, the glowing, leftover central part of the star from which it came, can usually still be seen.A planetary nebula is a cloud consisting of the outer layers of gas which have been ejected after the death of a star about the mass of the Sun.
