The answer is "negative feedback", which is what provides stability in many other situations as well. In this case, if the fusion is too fast, the Sun gets hotter, expands... and the fusion gets slower. Similarly, if the fusion is too slow, the Sun will cool down, contract, and the fusion gets faster again. In summary, any deviation from a point of equilibrium will result in a tendency to go back to equilibrium.

What happens to a protostar to eventually form a main sequence star?

It must collect enough mass in order for gravity to be able to turn it into a sphere.


How a main-sequence star like the sun is able to maintain a stable size?

A main-sequence star like the sun maintains a stable size through a balance of internal pressure from nuclear fusion pushing outwards and gravity pulling inwards. The energy produced by nuclear fusion in the core counteracts the force of gravity trying to collapse the star, keeping it in equilibrium and preventing it from expanding or contracting significantly.


Why must a telescope be able to move at the same rate earth turns?

Otherwise it won't remain pointed at the same spot in space any longer.


How does the line of gravity affect the stability?

If an athletes line of gravity moves outside of his/her base of support then they will no longer be able to maintain that body position. Eg; during a headstand the performers centre of mass must remain between the triangle of the hands and head. If it moves outside of this then the balance will break down. David Slee (Ilfracombe)


How does the stability of technological civilizations affect the probability that Earth can communicate with them?

The stability of technological civilizations could affect the probability of Earth being able to communicate with them. If technological civilizations are short-lived, the window of opportunity for communication might be small. On the other hand, if civilizations are stable and long-lasting, the chances of Earth being able to communicate with them could increase.

What are some common external forces that must plan when constructing stable structure?

Some common external forces that must be planned for when constructing a stable structure include wind, snow loads, seismic activity, and soil settlement. Understanding and accounting for these forces during the design and construction process helps ensure that the structure is able to withstand them and remain stable over time.

What would happen if there was no normal force?

Without the normal force, objects would not be able to remain stable or stationary on a surface. The normal force is essential for preventing objects from falling through surfaces and for providing support and stability in everyday situations.
