Interstellar gas is inelastic. To compress it some event typically must occur. A supernova, for example, produces a shockwave that collapses interstellar gas, precipitating nearby star formation. Another force is gravity--we have seen stars form in the swirling wake of passing black holes.
When two nebula collide, we might infer star formation across the "impact zone," much as water droplets precipitate when a moist warm air mass collides with a cooler, denser mass of air.

Is a solar nebula larger than a neutron star?
Yes, a solar nebula is much larger than a neutron star. In terms of objects in space, neutron stars are tiny; only a few miles across. A stellar nebula such as the one that formed the sun is light years across.
All-stars begin their lives as a part of what?
nebula's
Is there Evidence that the Orion region is actively forming stars?
Star formation was a one-time event. Star decay and death still occur, but stars can only be newly observed, not newly formed.
What formed at the center of our solar nebula?
The Sun.
What does nebula create?
Nebulas often create stars.
What is the birthplace of celestial stars?
Stars are formed in a nebula.
Was the Orion nebula a nova or a supernova?
The Orion nebula was likely caused by a supernova. It is a huge cloud of gas within which hundreds of new stars are being formed.
What do stars form from?
Stars form from the matter within nebula.
Can a nebula be bigger than a star?
Yes. Stars form within a nebula.
Stars are formed from clouds of dust and gas called?
Stars. That is how stars are formed. They form from nebulae.
What is a large cloud of dust and gas in space where stars are formed?
it is a nebula
How are nebulae formed?
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.
What is is solar nebula?
A solar nebula is a place where new stars are formed. Stars are "born" here when giant dust and gas clouds are pulled together under the force of gravity.
Is the ring nebula a cloud?
The Ring Nebula is classified as a planetary nebula which is a shell of gas and plasma, formed when certain stars die.So, in a way they are clouds of matter in space.
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.
Stars and planets are formed what the nebula collapses creating spinning balls of matter?
True
Stars and planets are formed when the nebula collapses creating spinning balls of matter.?
true
