This would be the range of stars of a size range that maintains enough mass to bring a condensing contraction of the cooling star as it's nuclear fuel passes through the light elements until the fusion (sticking together as opposed to fission or splitting apart) is halted at the progression up the elemental chart at Fe or Iron and less energy is produced over a wider area as the Iron heart of the star builds providing less heat to keep the star expanded against its own mass... small stars with little mass tend to become brown dwarfs. Cinders almost. Stars with a bit more extra mass will fall in on themselves gaviticaly as their energy is expended until stopped by the physical forces that bind electrons (white dwarfs) and atomic nuclei (neutron stars) with the largest masses that don't go super nova massive are greater even than the electromagnetic forces binding atoms and the collapse is to a mathmatical singularity the famous black hole... but this picture is far to simple... for example the super massive black holes that seem to be associated with most galactic centers and there are timescale issues with large scale formations (apparent) but that's the idea in a nutshell

Why doesn't the sun and earth not collapse?
Because the gravitational force is insufficient. There is not enough mass in either body to cause collapse.
Is gravitational potential energy is the same gravitational force?
No. Gravitational force is the pull an object experience from gravity. Gravitational energy is the energy an object has from its position in a gravitational field. An object moving up in a gravitational field gains gravitational energy.
The energy of position such as a rock on a hill is what energy?
Gravitational energy Potential energy
What is gravitational mass?
Gravitational mass is a term used in physics. The definition of gravitational mass is the mass of a body as measured by its gravitational attraction for other bodies.
What is the past participle of collapse?
Collapsed is the past participle of collapse.
What force makes a red super giant collapse?
a strong gravitational force which means that the star will collapse in on itself
What Gas and dust sticks to itself and collapse?
Gravitational instability theory
Why doesn't the sun and earth not collapse?
Because the gravitational force is insufficient. There is not enough mass in either body to cause collapse.
What is the name for the theoretical end-product gravitational collapse of a massive star?
impload
How did the sun in the Milky Way galaxy form?
Gravitational collapse of a protostellar nebula.
When does a forming star become stable?
Usually, gravitational collapse of the protostar is stopped after hydrogen fusion starts in the center. Then gravitational forces and radiation pressure are in equilibrium.
How are black holes related to stars?
Black holes are the result of the gravitational collapse of a large star.
What causes flow?
Several factors can cause pyroclastic flows. Fountain collapse of a volcano's eruption column structure, and gravitational collapse may cause pyroclastic flows.
How are black holes created in the universe?
By the gravitational collapse of massive stars - once they stop producing energy.
Is the solar system formed from nubela or gas?
The solar system formed from the gravitational collapse of a cloud of interstellar gas.
When is a star formed?
Stars form when there is a sufficient concentration of interstellar gas, to begin the process of gravitational collapse into a star.
How are a black holes started?
It is believed that they usually start from the gravitational collapse of a massive star - once it runs out of fuel.
