Gravity is responsible for the collapse of a stellar nebula into something which is dense enough for sustained thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium can begin. The fusion process generates radiation pressure which acts outwards and gravity is required to act against that force.

Does gravity have a part in the life cycle of a star?
no lol
What is the role of gravity in the life cycle of a star the size of your sun?
Gravity is related to mass. The more mass there is, the greater the force of gravity. Stars form from vast clouds of hyrogen in space over many years. As the hydrogen forms together under gravity it heats up, to the point at which nuclear reactions can take place and a star is born. The more hydrogen that there is available, the larger the star.
What is the life cycle of the star capella?
What is capella star life cycle
Where is the earth on the star life cycle?
The "star life cycle" refers to stars. Earth is not a star.
What is a good science fair title dealing with star life cycle?
Life Cycle of a Star
Will a protostar form near the end of a star's life cycle?
No, a protostar is basically the BEGINNING of a star's life cycle.
The third stage in the life cycle of a star?
what is the third stage of the star cycle
What happens during the third stage of a stars life cycle as the star uses up all of its hydrogen?
The core of a star contracts under the force of its own gravity. This contraction increases the temperature in the core.
What do nebulae have to do with the life cycle of a star?
Nebulae are associated with the end of a star's life cycle, as they are shells matter that blown off a star, usually in a series of events, when a star is in its death throws.
What forces are opposing one another throughout the life of a star how do they influence the various stages in life cycle of a star?
The two opposing forces are gravity, pulling the star in and the outward force from the ongoing nuclear fusion reactions. As the star approaches the end of it's life, changes in the reactions occur, which cause the forces to balance out in different ways, changing the size of the star.
compare your life to the life cycle of a star?
How does the life cycle of humans compare to the life cycle of a star? They both have stages where they are born and die which is in the main sequence and supernova and in a human they are born in a womb and die of old age.
Who invented the life cycle of a star?
Nobody "invented" it, the life cycle of stars happens naturally.
