"Nebulae" is the plural form of the Latin word "nebula," which means cloud or mist. In astronomy, nebulae refer to massive clouds of gas and dust in outer space.
Nebulae are large clouds of dust and gas in space where stars are born. Within a nebula, gravitational forces can cause the gas and dust to collapse and form a protostar, which eventually ignites nuclear fusion and becomes a star. Therefore, nebulae are the birthplaces of stars, and stars are formed from the material within nebulae.
There are several types of nebulae found in outer space, including emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, dark nebulae, and planetary nebulae. Emission nebulae are clouds of ionized gas that emit light, reflection nebulae reflect light from nearby stars, dark nebulae are dense clouds that block light, and planetary nebulae are the remnants of dying stars.
Nebulae are not stars. They are clouds of dust, hydrogen, helium, and other ionized gases in space where stars are born. Some nebulae can be observed because of the light of nearby stars reflecting off their gas and dust.
Some examples of different nebulae include the Orion Nebula, the Crab Nebula, the Eagle Nebula, and the Helix Nebula. These nebulae vary in size, shape, and composition, but they are all vast clouds of dust, gas, and plasma in space.

Floating about in space as nebulae.
Not yet - but in about 5 billion years - yes.

Mostly in planetary nebulae where a star that was big enough to produce oxygen when it exploded is.

it depends on how large the nebulae is. The largest of nebulae (in both distance and height) form the largest number of stars while the smallest of nebulae (in both distance and height) form the least number of stars. Therefore there is no fixed number for the number of stars that can be formed from a single nebulae (a variable amount of stars can be formed from one nebulae)

*the correct term is nebulae. a nebulae is a could of many gases and dust, where stars are created. TYPES: Diffuse Nebulae- the most common type. it is interstellar, which means among the stars, and not part of any galaxy. Planetary Nebulae- completely unrelated to planets. planetary nebulae is when gas and plasma are formed after certain types of stars die. it sometimes looks like gas planets, like neptune and uranus, hence the name. Reflection Nebulae- clouds of dust that reflect the light of nearby stars, though they are not nebulae, because they do not create stars. Protoplanetary Nebulae- a point in the lifetime of an astronomical object (star). protoplanetary nebulae, or preplanetary nebulae, emit light, much like reflection nebulae Emission Nebulae- a could of ionized gas which emits colorful lights
