What is the name of the man born with out arms or legs?
Tetramelia Amelia: the total absence of a limb from birth. Tetra: prefix meaning "four." Tetramelia: The condition of being born with all four limbs absent.
What is the fate of stars?
Star Birth as a Protostar. Stars are born within molecular clouds in the Galaxy. The mass of a protostar determines its place on the H-R diagram, its energy source, its ultimate fate. Then, the final stage when the core is fused to iron.
Compare the size of the sun to earth and to other stars in the sky?
Size, mass and age. are the differences. Our Sun is also a star, where hydrogen atoms fuse into helium atoms. It is a giant nuclear reactor. Have a look at the Herzsprung-Russell Diagram . It will give a star's given size, mass and age. and to colour it appears in the sky. Our Sun is a Yellow Star approximately half way through its life. When all the hydrogen is used up it will form a Red Giant and swallow up the inner planets the Earth included.
How do dying stars form planets?
They don't - new born stars and planets are formed together.
What do red dwarf stars come from?
They form the same way other stars form. Gas and dust in a nebular region collapse due to some sort of instability and coalesces onto a dense, spherical region which, upon receiving sufficient mass, starts nuclear fusion in its core. The star is now born. The major difference between red dwarfs and more massive stars is just that, mass. Red dwarfs has less mass to work with during their formation, and were thus left less massive than other stars. In truth, red dwarf stars represent the vast majority of stars in The Galaxy. Think of the larger, more massive stars, as "lucky to have a lot more mass than most other stars".
Does the number of stars change in a galaxy?
Yes because stars are dying and being born constantly.
How often is a star born in our galaxy?
Well, I am not exactly sure what you mean but the Sun is located 26,000 light-years from the galaxy's center in one of the spiral arms. In the galaxy, all stars orbit around a central region or core. It takes about 225 million years for the sun to orbit the center of the Milky Way. That's as much infotmation as I can give to you. Hope that helped and your question is somewhat answered. :D
Stars born in a galaxy?
You will need to expand on that question. If you mean how many stars are born in a galaxy then it would be inaccurate for me to give an answer because a galaxy is a vast, heavy grouping of stars, supported by gravity. There is no minimum or maximum amount of stars allowed and so a galaxy could vary quite vastly in the number of stars it contains.
How was the baby boom galaxy named?
The "baby boom galaxy" was named the "baby boom galaxy" because of the surprising amount of new stars being "born", created within it. At over 4,000 new stars per year it is the "mother" of all stellar births. In comparison, our Galaxy, the Milky Way, only one to two new stars are formed each year.
How do stars get to the galaxy?
There are billions of galaxies. Most stars are born in one galaxy but others are pulled in by the huge gravitational forces of the black hole in the centre.
Will there ever be another sun?
All the stars we can see are suns. Egotistically we call our star The Sun.Stars are being born and dying all the time, in our galaxy and in others.
Why is the Pleides called a stellar nursery?
The Pleiades is called a stellar nursery because it is a young open star cluster where new stars are being formed. The intense gravitational interactions among the stars in this cluster can trigger the birth of new stars from surrounding gas and dust clouds. This makes it a region where new stars are born, similar to how a nursery is a place where babies are born and cared for.
Where in the galaxy are most stars born?
Stars are born in areas of space that contain a high enough density of molecular hydrogen to cause fusion. These areas of space are known as molecular clouds and are the locations in space where the majority of stars are created.
When are stars born?
New stars are being born all the time. The rate of star formation in the Milky Way is about 7 new stars a year.
How manys stars die in a year?
In the Milky Way galaxy, around one star is born each year and around one star dies each year. Throughout the universe, around 100 billion stars are born and die each year.
What does gravity do in the milky way galaxy?
It holds all the material in the galaxy together. It also contains gas and dust clouds which collapse, under the influence of gravity, into stellar nebulae from which new stars, and possibly planetary systems are born.
When was Kaokor Galaxy born?
Kaokor Galaxy was born on May 15, 1959.
