What is a glowing cloud of gas?
A nebula if it's in space.
What effect does gravity have on stars?
Gravity pulls gas particle together. As gravity pulls more and more atoms, closer and closer together they eventually begin to fuse together. Once fusion starts on a large enough scale, at star is born.
What is caused by particles rubbing together in a cloud?
Lightning
What happens to the surface temperature and luminosity when gravity first assembles a protostar from a collapsing cloud?
Its surface temperature and luminosity increase.
What force do scientist think was responsible for clumping matter together to form the first stars after the big bang?
gravity, acting upon anisotropies in the distribution of matter caused by quantum fluctuations inflated to cosmological scale by the rapid inflation of the universe.Matter comes together to form stars under the force of gravity. Gravity is a force that causes all objects to attract each other with different amounts of force depending on their masses and their distance.In a random cloud of gas that is big enough, all pieces attract each other and they eventually gather together, and then the big pieces attract the others in. That does not stop until enough temperature is generated to start nuclear fusion, and the star settles into a stable size for the first few billion years of its life.
What is the deinition of Nebula?
a nebula is the cloud of radioactive material dust smoke and debris caused by an exploding start, a nebula happens after a nova or super nova..and somtimes the collapse of a start causes black holes too in which case you wont see a nebula because the massive amount of gravity in the black holes sucks everything in, but yes a nebula is the cloud left over from an exploding star
Do nebula's die?
Yes, Nebula's die. They die when they get to close to Black Holes.
What is the first step in the formation of a solar system?
A nebula, a large cloud of hydrogen gas, comes together under its gravity over a long period of time. One trigger may be perturbation from nearby supernovas.
Is a nebula a star?
a nebula is cloud of particles which forms into a star.
How does gravity affect the orbit of mars around the sun?
If there were no gravity the sun would not have condensed from a gaseous nebula and Mars would not have coalesced from the dust cloud that formed around the early sun.Gravity holds the sun and Mars together in orbits around their combined centre of mass. If there were no gravity then Mars would fly off into space.
Whats the difference between a nebulae and a nebula?
"Nebula" is a astronomical term for a cloud of gas and dust. "Nebulae" is the plural of "Nebula" and refers to more than one such cloud.
A large Gaseous cloud?
Nebula.
What is a spinning cloud of gases?
a cloud of glowing gas and dust is called a nebula
What does the word nebula mean in science?
A nebula is a large, indistinctly defined body in space, like a gas cloud or cloud of small particles.
Why were the stars created?
Stars are formed from a cloud of gas called nebula. As time passes by gravity pulles* this gas together. pressure and gravity make stars. *PULLS and they are created by an enormous clouds of dust, then the hydrogen gas would be pulled in by gravity and space, causing an explosion, then that expolosion would get bigger and bigger over thousands and thousands of years
Is Solar nebula a star?
No, its a molecular cloud.
Cloud of dust that becomes a star?
Nebula
