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.

Stars are formed from clouds of dust and gas called?

Stars. That is how stars are formed. They form from nebulae.


Are all-stars formed by nebulas?

No, all-stars are not formed by nebulas. All-stars are formed from clouds of gas and dust called molecular clouds, which collapse under their own gravity to form a star. Nebulas are massive clouds of dust and gas in space, where stars are born.


What were stars created by?

Stars are formed by hot clouds of gas and dust, named nebulas.


How were stars formed in the clouds?

The prevailing view is that stars form from the gravitational collapse of immense clouds of gas and dust in outer space.


The first stars formed in clouds of?

The first stars formed in clouds of predominantly hydrogen and helium gas. These clouds were massive and dense, collapsing under their own gravity to ignite nuclear fusion in their cores, marking the birth of the first generation of stars in the universe.

What is the role that gravity played in the formation of planets stars and solar systems and in determining their motions?

There is no doubt that planets, stars, and solar systems could not ever have formed without gravity. All of these astronomical objects condensed out of clouds of interstellar gas and dust, under the influence of gravity. It is also true that planets orbit stars only because of the gravitational attraction of those stars.


What caused planets to rotate?

Planets (and stars) were formed out of dust and gas. That had a rotation to it which does not go away (this is known as the Conservation of Angular Momentum).


What objects made the galaxy?

Black holes, stars, planets, proto-planets, large and small agglomerates (comets, meteors, interstellar dust), gas clouds.


Can a planet become a star through a process of stellar evolution?

Yes, a planet cannot become a star through stellar evolution. Stars are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust, while planets are formed from the leftover material in a star's protoplanetary disk.


Are larger solar systems made of gas and dust?

No. They are made mainly of stars and planets. The stars and planets came from gas and dust.


What caused the galaxies and planets to form?

Galaxies and planets are thought to have formed from the gravitational collapse of vast clouds of gas and dust in space. Within these clouds, gravity caused the material to clump together, eventually leading to the formation of galaxies composed of billions of stars and planets within these galaxies.
