Interstellar gas is inelastic. To compress it some event typically must occur. A supernova, for example, produces a shockwave that collapses interstellar gas, precipitating nearby star formation. Another force is gravity--we have seen stars form in the swirling wake of passing black holes.
When two nebula collide, we might infer star formation across the "impact zone," much as water droplets precipitate when a moist warm air mass collides with a cooler, denser mass of air.
What else can I help you with?
Which is more accurate The Nebula Cloud theory or The Passing Star theory?
The Nebula Cloud theory is more widely accepted and supported by evidence compared to the Passing Star theory. The Nebula Cloud theory suggests that stars form within nebulas, while the Passing Star theory proposes that stars are formed by interactions with other stars.
Does a nebula have no light of its own?
It does not have visible light of its own, that lite is provided by the shine of the stars in it and or around it.
Is a solar nebula larger than a neutron star?
Yes, a solar nebula is much larger than a neutron star. In terms of objects in space, neutron stars are tiny; only a few miles across. A stellar nebula such as the one that formed the sun is light years across.
Is a nebula held together of the outward force of gravity?
Yes, a nebula is held together by gravity. Gravity causes the gas and dust within a nebula to contract and clump together, eventually forming stars and other celestial bodies.
Is there Evidence that the Orion region is actively forming stars?
Star formation was a one-time event. Star decay and death still occur, but stars can only be newly observed, not newly formed.
Was the Orion nebula a nova or a supernova?
The Orion Nebula was not formed from a single supernova or nova event. It is a stellar nursery where new stars are currently being formed. The nebula is created by the glowing gas and dust illuminated by newly formed stars within it.
What is a large cloud of dust and gas in space where stars are formed?
A large cloud of dust and gas in space where stars are formed is called a nebula. Within a nebula, gravity causes particles to clump together, eventually forming into newborn stars. These regions are often rich in hydrogen and helium, the building blocks of stars.
What is the birthplace of celestial stars?
Stars are formed in a nebula.
What do stars form from?
Stars form from the matter within nebula.
Stars are formed from clouds of dust and gas called?
Stars. That is how stars are formed. They form from nebulae.
Does a nebula ever die?
Nebulas do not actually "die" in the sense that they are dynamic and ever-changing regions of space where new stars can be born. As stars within a nebula use up their fuel and eventually die, the nebula can disperse or be reshaped by the forces of the dying star. The material in a nebula can be recycled to form new stars and planetary systems.
What is a large cloud of gas and dust from which stars are formed?
A large cloud of gas and dust from which stars are formed is called a nebula. Within a nebula, gravity causes the gas and dust to come together, forming clumps that eventually collapse to create new stars. Nebulae are often seen as glowing or dark patches in the night sky.
Which is more accurate The Nebula Cloud theory or The Passing Star theory?
The Nebula Cloud theory is more widely accepted and supported by evidence compared to the Passing Star theory. The Nebula Cloud theory suggests that stars form within nebulas, while the Passing Star theory proposes that stars are formed by interactions with other stars.
What is is solar nebula?
A solar nebula is a place where new stars are formed. Stars are "born" here when giant dust and gas clouds are pulled together under the force of gravity.
Is the ring nebula a cloud?
The Ring Nebula is classified as a planetary nebula which is a shell of gas and plasma, formed when certain stars die.So, in a way they are clouds of matter in space.
What is the birth place for stars called?
The birthplace for stars is called a stellar nursery. These nurseries are regions within galaxies where gas and dust condense to form new stars.
Stars and planets are formed what the nebula collapses creating spinning balls of matter?
True
