What do all stars form from a huge cloud of gases and dust?
They form themselves.
The formation of the solar system from a huge cloud of dust and gases is called?
The nebular hypothesis
What is the name for a huge cloud of dust and gas?
Clouds of dust and gas in space are called nebulae, singular nebula. Using "nebulas" as the plural isn't exactly wrong as such, but nebulae is more traditional and makes people think you know Latin.
If earth is the piece of sun?
The earth and the sun formed from the same huge cloud of interstellar gas and dust, but the sun grabbed most of everything, and had the strong gravity to hold in hydrogen and helium. The earth condensed separately in the huge disc that became our solar system, forming a rocky planet with an iron core. When the sun turned on, the solar radiation cleaned up the inner solar system and pushed out the gas and dust that remained. So - the earth and the sun formed at the same time from the same dust cloud, but have very different compositions. And the earth was never physically a part of the sun.
What do you call a large cloud of gas and dust such as the one that formed our solar system?
That is called an accretion disk or a proto-Solar system.
What is A huge cloud of gas and dust in which stars form?
Nebula

What is a huge space cloud called?
It is known by several terms: Cumulonimbus, Thunderhead, Anvil cloud.
Huge clouds of gas and dust floating in space?
nebula

How was the solar system formed according to astronomers?
Astronomers Believe That The Solar System Began As A Huge Cloud Of Dust And A Gas Called ''NEBULA''
What is it called when the source system formed from a huge cloud of dust and gases?
Scientists believe that the solar system was formed when a cloud of gas and dust in space was disturbed, maybe by the explosion of a nearby star (called a supernova). This explosion made waves in space which squeezed the cloud of gas and dust. Squeezing made the cloud start to collapse, as gravity pulled the gas and dust together, forming a solar nebula. Just like a dancer that spins faster as she pulls in her arms, the cloud began to spin as it collapsed. Eventually, the cloud grew hotter and denser in the center, with a disk of gas and dust surrounding it that was hot in the center but cool at the edges. As the disk got thinner and thinner, particles began to stick together and form clumps. Some clumps got bigger, as particles and small clumps stuck to them, eventually forming planets or moons . Near the center of the cloud, where planets like Earth formed, only rocky material could stand the great heat. Icy matter settled in the outer regions of the disk along with rocky material, where the giant planets like Jupiter formed. As the cloud continued to fall in, the center eventually got so hot that it became a star, the Sun, and blew most of the gas and dust of the new solar system with a strong stellar wind. By studyingmeteorites, which are thought to be left over from this early phase of the solar system, scientists have found that the solar system is about 4600 million years old!
What do nebula do?
I nebula is a huge dust cloud in space that forms new stars. Some nebulas are so big that a tiny finger tip would be bigger than our solar system. I will edit this everyday. This is a warning. ANSWERS.COM WILL CRASH YOUR COMPUTER SO BAD. MY OTHER ONE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS
What is the a nebula?
"Nebula is a medicinal liquid preparation intended for use in an atomizer"and "Nebulae's are huge, diffuse clouds of gas and dust in intergalactic space"
A discharge of static electricity from a huge cloud is called a?
A discharge of static electricity from a huge cloud is called lightning.
What stages has the sun went through?
The sun has already gone through the stage of protostar. It was the condensing stage from a huge cloud of gas and dust, heating up and making some light.
