For the sun to be stable the inward and outward forces within the sun must be?

balanced. The inward force is gravity, which wants to collapse the sun, while the outward force is generated by nuclear fusion in the core which produces energy and heat, preventing collapse. These forces balance each other, keeping the sun stable.


All of space and everything it contains is called the?

All of space, all of time, and everything in them, is called the "Universe".


What is the balance of forces that keeps a star from collapsing called?

The balance of forces that keeps a star from collapsing is called hydrostatic equilibrium. This equilibrium occurs when the outward pressure generated by nuclear fusion in the star's core balances the inward gravitational force trying to collapse the star. If these forces are not balanced, the star may either contract under gravity or expand until a new equilibrium is reached.


Explain why the sun does not collapse under the force of its own gravity?

Stars do not collapse because the inward force of gravity is balanced by the pressure generated by fusion. When stars die they do collapse. The cores of low to medium mass stars collapse to form white dwarfs. Further collapse is prevented y electron degeneracy pressure. More massive stars leave behind neutron stars, in which gravity is balanced by neutron degeneracy pressure. In the most massive stars, once fusion stops producing energy there is nothing to stop the collapse and the core becomes a black hole.


Large clouds of gas and dust are called?

Nebulae. These nebulae are often regions in space where new stars are forming due to the gravitational collapse of the gas and dust. They come in various shapes and sizes, and are some of the most beautiful and mesmerizing objects in the universe.

What is the static university theory and what did Einstein believe that that was impossible?

The static UNIVERSE model (not a theory) holds that our Universe has been in gravitational balance for all eternity. If general relativity correctly described gravitational interaction of matter -- and Einstein DEFINITELY believed in his model -- then the Universe would have to collapse into a singularity, a fact Einstein recognized almost immediately. He thus made this collapse disappear with a wave of his hand, saying the Universe contained a force (he called it the Cosmological Constant) that perfectly balanced against a collapse by gravity. Jesuit priest George LeMaitre showed that our Universe did not need Einstein's CC if it were expanding -- an idea Einstein ridiculed. When Edwin Hubble showed that our Universe IS, indeed, expanding; Einstein admitted his CC was his "greatest blunder."
