Two primary forces drive the transformation of a nebula into a star like the Sun: gravity and nuclear fusion. Gravity causes the gas and dust in the nebula to collapse and clump together, increasing density and temperature in the core. Once the core temperature reaches a critical point, nuclear fusion ignites, allowing hydrogen atoms to fuse into helium, releasing energy that creates the pressure needed to balance gravitational collapse, ultimately leading to the formation of a stable star.

What nebula was the sun created in?

The Solar Nebula, which does not exist anymore.


What type of forces cuased the solar nebula to contract?

The force of gravity caused the solar nebula to contract. As the nebula collapsed under its own gravity, it began to spin and flatten into a disk shape, eventually forming the Sun and the planets. Additionally, the heat and pressure generated by the gravitational contraction contributed to the collapse of the nebula.
