Well what the problem is really adressing is what force causes the accumulation of matter or the nebulae to form stars. Simply gravity. The nebulae collapes due to a concentrated point of gravity. All that matter collapes into a star. So the answer is gravity.

What are the forces acting on stars?
The forces acting on stars are gravitational and electromagnetic. Stars have charge and electromagnetic fields and charge generate forces, F=qE + qvxB. The so-called "dark (missing) matter in galaxies" is a manifestation of the electromagnetic forces on stars. Roughly a star with mass m in the galaxy, is acted on by the galactic magnetic field B. This is similar to the mass spectrometer. mv^2/r = qvB = qvuI/r = qvzI/cr Thus v=qzI/mc the velocity of v is independent of the radius and depeds on the charge to mass ration, q/m.
Do most stars shine?
all stars shine, its just a matter or whether or not we can see them
Are new stars formed from the material of old stars?
Due to the scientific law that states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed, it is extremely likely that all of the stars in our universe were formed from older stars that had released some or all of their matter.
What is the form of matter common to stars and lightning?
plasma
What phase of matter exists naturally only in stars?
plasma
Is the sun a natural force?
The sun is a natural physical object, part of a group of objects called stars. These are created by the accumulation of matter through a natural force called gravity.Such objects can then produce certain natural forces such as electromagnetic radiation. Light, heat, etc.
Which type of forces are present in stars that they are stationary still they are not falling?
Gravity and inertia are the two forces that act on all matter in the universe. If there were only two stars in the universe and they were standing still, the force of gravity would cause them to eventually fall together and collide. But there are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way alone, and billions of other galaxies out there, and NOTHING is standing still; everything is in motion. The primary forces that keep the stars from falling together is the rotation of the Milky Way; all the stars appear to orbit the center of the Milky Way.
How do stars form?
Stars form from an accumulation of gas and dust, which collapses due to gravity and starts to form stars.
What is the ending of dead stars?
When stars die, the matter(dust and dirt) is spread out where the star once lived. The matter would continue to drift outward, but gravitational forces pull the matter back together overtime. Eventually, the recollected star matter forms into a dense ball again and creates energy. Thus, the death of stars leads to new stars - it is a circle of life.
What is the explanation for each branch of science?
Chemistry-study of properties and composition of matter Physics-deals with forces,motion and energy and their effects on matter Biology-study of living organisms Earth Science-study of planets and its place in the universe Geology-study of earth,its matter and the processes that form and cjange it Astronomy-study of objects in space including stars,planets and comets Meteorology-study of weather and the forces and processes that cause it Oceanography-study of Earth's oceans
Where do new stars get their matter from?
new stars can get matter from old stars and comets really anything it can get its hands on

Do stars matter?
The vast bulk of your mass was at one time part of a star, so if you matter, then stars matter.
What force do scientist think was responsible for clumping matter togerher to form the first stars after the big bang?
Gravity. Please note that the other forces aren't usually relevant at the usual distances between stars, or between galaxies.
What forces help the formation of stars?
gravitation
What do stars form from?
Stars form from the matter within nebula.
Is stars matter?
yes
