What else can I help you with?
Where are the birthplaces of stars?
"Clouds" of gas (and dust) concentrated by gravity.
What are the different parts of the solar system?
A star, planets, satellites of the planets, asteroids, meteors, comets, dust particles and also vacuum.
Would dust fall due to no gravity on the moon?
Yes, dust would fall because the moon produces a gravitational field of its own.
What role does gravity play in supernovae?
Ok, a bunch of interstellar dust began to collect in a slightly hotter region of the solar system. The gravitational attraction between these particles began to draw them closer and closer to each other. Since the density near the center of the cloud was constantly increasing, the kinetic energy of the cloud also increased. The outer parts of the dust cloud began to spiral around the center. Eventually, the gas in the center became so hot and dense that it condensed to form our sun, fusing its hydrogen particles into helium. The outer rings of space dust then began to condense at other key points around the sun, maintaining their orbital velocity but being held at a constant distance by the star's gravitational pull. These clouds of dust eventually condensed to form the planets and the asteroid belt. This explains why all the orbital paths of the planets are within a few degrees of the same plane. As for galaxies, just extrapolate that explanation to the next level, replacing the dust particles with stars. Mind-blowingly simple, right?
When ash and dust settle on the ground they become compact by what?
When ash and dust settle on the ground, they become compacted primarily through the processes of gravity and the weight of overlying materials. Additionally, moisture can play a role in binding the particles together, allowing for further compaction as the water evaporates. Over time, biological activity and the accumulation of organic matter can also contribute to the compaction and stabilization of these materials.
A group of stars gas and dust held together by gravity is a?
A group of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity is known as a galaxy. Galaxies come in various shapes and sizes and can contain billions to trillions of stars. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy containing around 100-400 billion stars. The gravitational forces within a galaxy keep its components bound together in a cohesive structure.
What force is responsible for holding the stars gases and dust together in a galaxy?
The answer is simple: gravity.
What is a group of billions of stars plus dust and gas that is bound together by gravity called?
A group of billions of stars, along with dust and gas, that is bound together by gravity is called a galaxy. Galaxies come in various shapes and sizes, including spiral, elliptical, and irregular forms. The Milky Way is an example of a spiral galaxy containing our solar system.
A group of stars gases and dust?
This describes a nebula, which is a vast cloud of gas and dust in space where stars are born. The gases and dust within a nebula are the raw materials that eventually come together under gravity to form new stars.
What is a huge stystem of stars dust and gas held together by gravity?
A galaxy.
What is a large collection of stars gas dust held together by gravity?
Galaxy
What is a large collection of stars and gas and dust held together by gravity?
That is a galaxy.
A collection of 1 billions of stars dust and gas held together by gravity is a what?
a galexy
What is a huge system of stars dust and gas held together by gravity?
Is called a galaxy
What is the name for a large group of stars gas and dust held together by gravity?
Such groups exist at different levels:* Star clusters * Galaxies * Galaxy clusters * Superclusters
What is a big assembly of stars gasand dust that is held together by gravity?
A galaxy is a big assembly of stars, gas, and dust that is held together by gravity. They come in different shapes and sizes and contain billions to trillions of stars. Our own galaxy is called the Milky Way.
What holds stars together to form a galaxy?
Gravity - from the stars, dust, etc., but especially from "dark matter", a substance of yet unknown composition.
