What happened when the gas in the nebula's center stopped collapsing?
When the gas in the nebula's center stopped collapsing, it likely reached a stable equilibrium where the inward force of gravity was balanced by the outward pressure from nuclear fusion or other energy sources. This equilibrium could result in the formation of a protostar or a star, depending on the mass and composition of the gas.
What is it called when the nebula begins collapsing and turning into a small spinning cloud?
This stage is called protostar formation. As the nebula collapses due to gravity, it begins to spin faster and forms a hot, dense core known as a protostar. This marks the beginning of the process that will eventually lead to the formation of a new star.
What star sheds a planetary nebula?
A star like our sun will shed a planetary nebula after its 'death'
Where does most of a red giant go when the star becomes a white dwarf?
The white dwarf still has a lot of mass ( about 80% of the original star), but it only has a small size( less than two Earths). A huge volume of material forms a nebula which gradually disperses. This type of nebula is (confusingly) called a "planetary nebula".
Another name for the interstellar matter that will eventually form a star is?
protostar or nebula
Is a nebula a star?
a nebula is cloud of particles which forms into a star.

When does a star form a nebula?
A star forms a nebula when it runs out of fuel. The star either becomes a red giant or a supergiant, then the star would be blown off into space either by expansion or explosion. The outer layers, which was released into space, would become a nebula, or sometimes a part of a larger nebula.
What is a cloud of gas in which a star forms?
nebula.
How many nebulas are needed to create a star?
Multiple nebulas are not needed to create a star. A star forms from the gravitational collapse of a single nebula, a region in space where gas and dust come together. The collapsing nebula undergoes fusion in its core to become a star.
What happens to material in the center of the nebula?
The material at the center of a nebula clumps together as material is pulled there. This allows a star to form.
Is the Sun a star a planet or a nebula?
The Sun is a star, specifically a G-type main-sequence star, which is the star at the center of our solar system. It is not a planet or a nebula.
What material in the center of a nebula that becomes a star?
dust, tiny rocks.

What two factors cause a nebula to develop into a star?
The two main factors that cause a nebula to develop into a star are gravity and heat. Gravity pulls the gas and dust in the nebula together, causing it to collapse under its own gravity. As the collapse continues, the temperature and pressure in the core of the collapsing nebula increase, eventually reaching a point where nuclear fusion ignites, and a star is born.
What is the dense center of a stellar nebula after it spins into a disk shape?
A "proto-star".
