What force causes a star to form from a nebula?

A star forms from a nebula primarily due to gravitational forces. As regions within the nebula contract under their own gravity, the material becomes denser and hotter, leading to the formation of a protostar. When the core temperature and pressure become sufficient for nuclear fusion to initiate, a star is born. This process is often triggered by external factors such as nearby supernova explosions or shock waves from other celestial events that compress the gas and dust in the nebula.


When does a star form a nebula?

A star forms a nebula when it runs out of fuel. The star either becomes a red giant or a supergiant, then the star would be blown off into space either by expansion or explosion. The outer layers, which was released into space, would become a nebula, or sometimes a part of a larger nebula.


What is the force that turns a nebula into a protostar?

The force that turns a nebula into a protostar is gravity. As regions within a nebula become denser due to slight fluctuations in density, gravity pulls the surrounding gas and dust inward, causing the material to clump together. This process leads to the formation of a protostar as the collapsing material heats up and begins to accumulate mass. Once the temperature and pressure in the core become sufficient to initiate nuclear fusion, the protostar evolves into a main-sequence star.


Why would a nebulae explode if the pressure inside greater than the force of gravity?

A nebula can explode if the internal pressure exceeds the gravitational force holding it together because the gas and dust within it become unstable. When the pressure, often due to nuclear fusion or radiation from nearby stars, surpasses the gravitational pull, the material can no longer be contained. This imbalance causes the nebula to expand rapidly, resulting in an explosive event, such as a supernova or the dispersal of the nebula's material into space. Ultimately, this process contributes to star formation and the distribution of elements throughout the galaxy.


What is stellar Nebula?

it is not the it is a stellar nebula considering that there are multiple stellar nebulas in the universe. what a steller nebula is though is dust and such maing a nebula then when the nebula is strong enough to make a star is creates a prostar, then it is either a massive star or a non massive star. soon they will either turn into a super giant or a red giant. then either the star will explode or simply poof then either it is a white dwarf a neutron star or a black hole. the end

What is after a nebula in a star life?

A nebula may condense and ignite to become a star, conversely a star may explode and form a nebula.


Can a neutron star become a nebula?

No, a neutron star can't become a nebula. A neutron star is not made of atomic matter, has less mass than a nebula, and has no mechanism by which to expand.

Does the death of a star make a nebula?

No, the star usually will become a white dwarf or explode .

Is a nebula a star?

a nebula is cloud of particles which forms into a star.


What causes a nebula to change into a star?

Do you mean a nova? A Nebula is a large group of stars and dust in the sky. e.g. the Orion nebula. An individual star would not ordinarily change into a nebula, but the Crab Nebula is one such, first seen on earth about 1054 CE. But it had taken about 6500 years for the light to reach us. If your query was about nova or supernova, ask again.

Do protostars form when gravity causes dense parts of a star-forming nebulae to expand?

No. A protostar forms when gravity causes dense parts of a nebula to collapse. Since gravity is an attractive force it does not make any sense that it would cause something to expand.


When a nebula what is a nebula?

A White Dwarf Star remains.


Is there a nebula wraped around a dying star?

A Nebula is a gas of dust and minerals that surrounds a star. Also, a nebula is a birthplace of a star, where a star and sometimes a solar system is formed after a huge explosions
