Clouds of gas and dust in which stars from are called what?
Clouds of gas and dust from which stars form are called interstellar matter.
What is The disk of dust and gas that formed the sun and planets called?
The disk of dust and gas that formed the Sun and planets is known as the solar nebula.The dense concentration of gas at the center of this rotating disk eventually became the Sun.
What is the dust and gas located between stars in a galaxy called?
Nebula
Stars are formed from clouds of dust and gas called?
Stars. That is how stars are formed. They form from nebulae.
A group of stars gas and dust held together by gravity is a?
A group of stars, dust and gases held together by gravity IS CALLED GALAXY
Are planets formed from the same clouds of gas and dust as stars?
Yes. As a new star is forming it is surrounded by a disk of gas and dust called a protoplanetary disk. Planets, asteroids, and comets all form from this disk.
Is the dust and gas found between stars called quasars?
No. The clouds of gas and dust are called nebulae. A quasar is a disk of superheated matter falling into an enormous black hole.
Stars form from clouds of dust and gas called .?
Molecular clouds
Solar system formed from a cloud of dust?
Yes, the solar system including our Sun and planets is believed to have formed from a large disk of gas and dust called a proto-disk or proto-solar disk, due to gravitational effects. It is currently thought that several stars formed from the same cloud as our Sun.
What is the cloud of material stars are made of called?
The gases and dust from which stars condense are called cosmic dust or particles.
What is the difference between disk stars and halo stars?
Stars in the disk all orbit in the same direction and nearly the same plane, while halo stars have more randomly oriented orbits.Clusters of young stars are found only in the disk.Disk stars come in a broad range of masses and colors, while halo stars are mostly of low mass and red.Gas and dust are abundant in the disk but not in the halo.
Why does the milky way look like a hazy band of stars in the sky?
The galaxy is covered in dust. A large but very faint layer of stars surrounds the disk and bulge. In addition to stars, the Milky Way contains clouds of gas and dust called nebulae.
Name four different objects you can find in our galaxy?
A galaxy contains stars, gas and dust. In a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, the stars, gas, and dust are organized into a "bulge," a "disk" containing "spiral arms," and a "halo." Elliptical galaxies have a bulge-like central region and a halo, but do not have a disk.
Clouds of gas and dust in which stars from are called what?
Clouds of gas and dust from which stars form are called interstellar matter.
What is The disk of dust and gas that formed the sun and planets called?
The disk of dust and gas that formed the Sun and planets is known as the solar nebula.The dense concentration of gas at the center of this rotating disk eventually became the Sun.
What is A collection of dust and gases that forms stars or results from dying stars?
It is called a stellar nebula.
The difference between disk and halo stars?
Which of the following statements correctly summarize key differences between the disk and the halo?Answer:Clusters of young stars are found only in the disk.Stars in the disk all orbit in the same direction and nearly the same plane, while halo stars have more randomly oriented orbits.Gas and dust are abundant in the disk but not in the halo.Disk stars come in a broad range of masses and colors, while halo stars are mostly of low mass and red.
