Huge hot balls of gas that are held together by gravity and give off their own light are called stars. The sun is also a star.

Does nebula or gravity give off their own light?

Does gravity gve off its own light? What a stupid question, gravity is a force, you cant even see it. Nebulas are clouds of gas, but newly formed stars within them can give off light. Remember, everything you can see is giving off light.

How are stars and planets different?

First of all, planets are way smaller than stars, stars are probably 10-1000's of times bigger than plants. Another thing is stars produce nuclear energy in their core so they burn and give of heat, which by far planets don't give off. The third thing is Stars have more gravity than planets so they make smaller bodies orbit around them. Planets are dark balls of rock and gas that orbit a star and stars are giant balls of hot gases that makes its own light and heat

How did gravity give rise to the formation of Saturn?

The planet Saturn was formed as the force of gravity drew small, heavy particles together, eventually creating the mass that is known as Saturn. The rings consist of much lighter particles.


What role did gravity play in the formation of the planets?

Gravity, of course has a central role in formation of planets. It's believed that the planets origin can be traced to the debris swirling around a young star. The term used for coming together of particles or bodies and joining together is 'accretion'. Gravity is the reason behind accretion . Small debris join together due to accretion and this accretion occurs further to give rise to larger and larger bodies like planets . Without gravity, this could never have occurred.
