How do stars end up in space?

Stars form in space when giant gas clouds start to clump together and collapse in upon themselves. This clumping is often caused by energy waves from nearby exploding supernova (dying stars). As they collapse, the molecules that form the clouds compress in upon each other to form helium and hydrogen. Once gravity pushes them together strongly enough, nuclear fission will begin to occur in the core of the star. This process will continue throughout the life of the star, until all of the fuel is used up.


Why do billions of stars appear as clouds or patch of light?

That happens when they are so far away that you can't distinguish the individual stars. Also, to appear as "clouds", there must be a large amount of stars together.


When the stars begin to huddle the earth will it soon begin to puddle?

When clouds increase, whole areas of stars may be hidden by clouds with groups of stars, still in the clear sky, seem to huddle together. The clouds are increasing, so the chance of rain is increasing too.


Do mother stars make their own baby stars?

No. New stars form in dense clouds of dust and gas, sometimes in response to the shockwave caused by a "nearby" supernova.


How the elements beryllium carbon and oxygen produces stars such as the sun?

It is not specifically those elements which "produce stars". Whatever elements happen to be around clump together, through gravity, and form the star.


What is Cloud of dust and gas?

A cloud of dust and gas is a collection of tiny solid particles and various gases, often found in space. These clouds can be the birthplaces of stars and planetary systems as gravity causes the particles to clump together and form denser regions. They're commonly referred to as "nebulae," and they come in various types such as molecular clouds, reflection nebulae, and emission nebulae.


Where does the stars originate?

All stars originate in (collapsing) gas clouds - consisting mainly of hydrogen - and usually in large groups (hundreds to thousands of stars forming together).


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.


What are star's clouds made of?

Stars do not have clouds.


Do clouds has a nebula?

No, a nebula is a place where stars are born. Stars and clouds are very different.


Stars are formed from clouds of dust and gas called?

Stars. That is how stars are formed. They form from nebulae.


The interstellar clouds called molecular clouds are?

the cool clouds in which stars form.
