In order for a clump of matter in a gas cloud to become a star, it must be a whopping BIG gas cloud, so that the mutual gravitation of the cloud would cause it to collapse in on itself.

There are some theories that a large and diffuse gas cloud would be unlikely to spontaneously collapse under its own gravity without some substantial shock to the gas cloud. The shock wave of a nearby supernova explosion would not only provide the shock, but also contribute a substantial amount of newly-created heavy elements to the system. Such a supernova five billion years ago probably provided a lot of the iron, gold and uranium to our solar system, and also caused our stellar nebula to collapse, forming our Sun and our planetary system.

Do stars grow?

A star is formed out of cloud of cool, dense molecular gas. In order for it to become a star, the cloud needs to collapse and increase in density.

What are the changes in state of matter?

The states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. A solid melts to become liquid and a liquid evaporates to become gas. Sublimation is the direct change from solid to gas.

You can't. Pure energy needs matter in order to change or do anything.


What are true statements about cloud storage?

The major benefit of cloud services such as Microsoft Azure or AWS (Amazon Web Services) are that they enable companies to avoid upfront infrastructure costs. But also using a cloud can become a major expense. In the last couple of years there are tools that optimise cloud deployment, such as Cloudyn's, in order to downsize cloud costs. If you're interested in a free trial of such a tool have a look at: http://www.cloudyn.com/pricing/

No, Order does not matter

The cloud must stay warmer than the surrounding air in order to keep growing.


Does order matter in multiplication?

No. Multiplication is commutative so the order of the multiplicands does not matter. Multiplication is associative so the order in which the operations are carried out does not matter.


How are hailstones made?

Hailstones start off as a snowflake. In order to become a hailstone, a upwind has to blow it back up into the cloud and collect more water, snow, or ice. Then it freezes. This process can happen over and over again until the hailstone is heavy enough to fall out of the cloud. That's the process of a hailstone.


Does it matter what order numbers are multiplied in?

No; it does not matter.


How do you read books in kindle cloud?

The Kindle Cloud is Amazon's Cloud storage for purchases made in the Kindle store. To read something that you have stored in the Cloud, you must choose to download the book from the Cloud to your Kindle. Once this is done, all you need to do is open the book on the Kindle in order to read it.
