Nebula are formed when a star explodes, releasing its gas into a gas cloud (the nebula). the nebula then will eventually condense due to gravity and form another star.

Most nebulae are formed by a supernova, a huge star explosion, and the nebula is the gas remnants, where other stars will eventually grow and form their own planets that may have life!

How many stars form from nebulae?

it depends on how large the nebulae is. The largest of nebulae (in both distance and height) form the largest number of stars while the smallest of nebulae (in both distance and height) form the least number of stars. Therefore there is no fixed number for the number of stars that can be formed from a single nebulae (a variable amount of stars can be formed from one nebulae)


Does a nebula ever die?

A nebulae can only die if it's right by a black hole or if all the stars that can be formed are formed which uses up the nebulae


What type of star is Nebulae?

Nebulae are not stars. They are places where stars are formed, so a single nebula would contain lots of stars.


Why do astronomers study nebulae?

Becuase nebulae tell us how stars get formed so the composition, density and size of a nebulae cloud says a lot about its age, likelihood of stars forming and the type of stars that might form.


Stars are formed from clouds of dust and gas called?

Stars. That is how stars are formed. They form from nebulae.


Where does the nebula get its gas to form stars?

Most of the nebulae that exist now are formed from the expelled remnants of dead stars. The gas that made up the original nebulae form with the Big Bang.


How many kinds of Nebula's are there?

*the correct term is nebulae. a nebulae is a could of many gases and dust, where stars are created. TYPES: Diffuse Nebulae- the most common type. it is interstellar, which means among the stars, and not part of any galaxy. Planetary Nebulae- completely unrelated to planets. planetary nebulae is when gas and plasma are formed after certain types of stars die. it sometimes looks like gas planets, like neptune and uranus, hence the name. Reflection Nebulae- clouds of dust that reflect the light of nearby stars, though they are not nebulae, because they do not create stars. Protoplanetary Nebulae- a point in the lifetime of an astronomical object (star). protoplanetary nebulae, or preplanetary nebulae, emit light, much like reflection nebulae Emission Nebulae- a could of ionized gas which emits colorful lights


What are two types of bright nebulae?

emission nebulae and reflection nebulae.


What are The Two types of bright nebulae?

emission nebulae and reflection nebulae.


What are the two main types of bright nebulae?

emission nebulae and reflection nebulae.


How are nebulae related to the formation of planetary systems like the solar system?

Solar systems are formed by nebulae. The larger pieces of dust and other materials attract the smaller ones, get bigger, and attract even more pieces of random things, and so on, until a star and sometimes planets are eventually formed.


What is a diffuse nebulae?

In astronomy, diffuse nebulae is the general term for illuminated nebulae. The three types of diffuse nebulae are reflection nebulae, emission nebulae and supernova remnants. They are diffuse as opposed to the non-diffuse dark nebulae, i.e. the particles have spread out.
