Can a nebula be bigger than a star?
Yes, a nebula can be much larger in size than a star. Nebulae are vast clouds of gas and dust in space, while stars are relatively small and compact objects that form within these nebulae. Some nebulae can span hundreds of light-years across, whereas stars are typically only a few times the size of Earth.
Does a nebula ever die?
Nebulas do not actually "die" in the sense that they are dynamic and ever-changing regions of space where new stars can be born. As stars within a nebula use up their fuel and eventually die, the nebula can disperse or be reshaped by the forces of the dying star. The material in a nebula can be recycled to form new stars and planetary systems.
