What else can I help you with?
What is interstellar gas cloud?
An interstellar cloud made of gas, dust, and plasma in a galaxy.
What do interstellar clouds have to do with the solar system?
it was born from the interstellar cloud
What is the source of energy as a star evolves from an interstellar cloud to the protostar stage?
The main source of energy during this stage is gravitational potential energy, as gas in the interstellar cloud collapses under gravity to form a protostar. The energy released from this gravitational collapse heats up the material and initiates the process of star formation.
What are possible triggers to begin the collapse of an interstellar gas cloud?
A common trigger would be a nearby nova or supernova. Note that it would not need to collapse the entire nebula; just creating a spot of critical density would cause a protostar to form.
What is a large cold cloud of gas and dust in interstellar space?
These are generically referred to as, not surprisingly; 'interstellar clouds'
A cloud of interstellar gas is held together by?
the gravitational force
What is the name the material sent into space by a supernova?
An interstellar cloud.
What is the name of the material sent into space by a supernova?
An interstellar cloud.
As an interstellar gas cloud shrinks in size its gravitational potential energy?
As an interstellar gas cloud shrinks in size, it's gravitational potential energy gradually transforms into other forms of energy.
Is Radiation only absorbed by gas in an interstellar cloud?
With all due respect, an interstellar cloud is, by its definition, gas, plasma and/or dust (molecular particulates) in greater quantities than normally found in interstellar space. So, perhaps the answer is No, because there are other elements present.
Why do Interstellar gas cloudss may collapse to form stars if they?
Interstellar gas clouds may collapse to form stars primarily due to gravitational instability. When regions within the cloud become dense enough, their gravitational pull can overcome thermal pressure and other forces opposing collapse. As the material falls inward, it heats up, leading to the formation of a protostar. If the conditions are right, this process can continue until nuclear fusion ignites in the star's core, officially marking its birth.
What happens when an interstellar cloud begins to shrink during star formation?
Petrodollar clouds form when a interstellar clouds begins to shirk. The clouds goes from interstellar clouds to petrodollar clouds.
