Stars are born when gravity pulls gas and dust together with enough pressure to?

Enough pressure to make the atoms (hydrogen atoms) in the gas (hydrogen - don't know about dust) to push so hard against one another that the atoms literally fuse together (which believe me requires an immense amount of power). This causes the nuclear fusion reaction that we see (and feel) in stars. It produces an immense amount of heat and light.

Which of these develop when gravity pulls gas and dust together with enough pressure to ignite nuclear fusion?
Having some trouble seeing your list of choices from here.But stars do.
How does gravity affect the stars moon an planets?
Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.
What are stars in the sky held together by?
gravity
Stars balance there inside gravity by?
The inward force of gravity is counteracted by two outward forces: gas pressure, and radiation pressure. Once the star runs out of fuel, the radiation pressure stops, the gas pressure is no longer enough to counteract gravity, and the star collapses - into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole, depending on its mass.
What are stars like?
Stars are balls of (usually hydrogenous) gas that is held together by a large amount of gravity. The gravity squeezes the gases together causing the star to become very hot and also causes nuclear fusion. The sun is the largest star but luckily earth is far enough away that the gravity of the sun doesn't pull us into it.
Are stars born when gravity pulls gas and dust together with enough pressure to ignite nuclear fusion?
Yes, stars are born when gravity pulls gas and dust together from a nebula.
Stars are formed from interstellar clouds because of?
Because of gravity. Only gravity can pull large clouds together with enough force to overcome gas pressure.
Stars are born when gravity pulls gas and dust together with enough pressure to ignite nuclear fusion true or false?
True.

What is gravity's job in the universe?
Gravity basically makes things come together, and keep together. For example, due to gravity: * Galaxies form and keep together * Stars form and keep together * Stars get hot enough for nuclear fusion to start * Planets form and keep together * Planets keep around their stars, instead of wandering off into space
What do scientist think was responsible for clumping together matter forming the fist stars after the big bang?
Scientists believe that the clumping together of matter to form the first stars after the Big Bang was primarily due to the force of gravity. Gravity caused regions of slightly denser matter to attract more matter towards them, leading to the formation of proto-stars. Over time, these proto-stars accumulated enough mass and pressure to ignite nuclear fusion, giving birth to the first stars in the universe.
Why are stars there?
When enough hydrogen gas collects in a region of space, the collective gravity of the gas begins to pull all the hydrogen atoms together. Eventually, when enough hydrogen has fallen together, it heats up and compresses the gas. If there's enough gas, it will collapse under gravity until the internal temperature and pressure are very high, and hydrogen fusion begins. And a star is born. It's not all that unusual; there are perhaps a trillion stars in the Milky Way, and hundreds of billions of other galaxies in the universe.

What force is responsible for holding the stars gases and dust together in a galaxy?
The answer is simple: gravity.
