What begins as a nebula?

Stars, planets, solar systems, many objects in space can start as a large unstructured nebula of gas and dust, which can coalesce into massive objects under gravitational influence.


When do stars leave the nebula?

I have no idea. If a star is born within a nebula, how or why would it be compelled to leave it, since the gravity of everything inside the nebula would seem to hold it in there? So it doesn't make sense that a star like the sun would ever leave the nebula. Of course there is probably an explanation, but not one that I can find online very easily


What causes a solar nebula to initially begin to form a solar?

A solar nebula begins to form when a cloud of gas and dust in space collapses under its own gravity. This collapse can be triggered by a nearby supernova explosion, a shockwave from a passing star, or other disturbances in the interstellar medium.


How long would it take to get to the crab nebula from earth?

well the crab nebula is about 6,500 light years away so it would take 6,500 years to get there at the speed of light but we do not have any space craft that travel at that speed so it would take over a billion if not trillion years to get there!


What come after a nebula?

After a nebula, the next stage in the life cycle of a star is usually a protostar, where gravity causes the gas and dust within the nebula to begin collapsing and forming a dense core. Following this stage, the protostar may evolve into a main sequence star, where nuclear fusion begins in its core and it enters a stable period of energy production.
