    Cabral Life cycle of Stars Our Sun is a perfect example of a star‚ and there is an incredible amount of stars in the Universe. Stars live for a very long time; millions‚ billions‚ or tens of billions of years so we can never really observe the life of a star; its birth‚ life‚ and death. In determining the life cycle of a star‚ astronomers observe many of the billions of stars around us and see them at different stages of life‚ therefore putting together a star’s evolution. It is a star among hundreds

    Part 7 The life cycle of a star How does gravity‚ nuclear fusion and mass affect the life cycle of a different sized stars? * Stars initially form from clouds of dust and gas. The force of gravity makes the gas and dust spiral in together to form a protostar. Gravitational energy has converted into heat energy‚ so the temperature rises * When the temperature gets high enough‚ hydrogen nucli undergo thermonuclear fusion to form helium nuclei and give out massive amounts of heat and light

    Life cycle of a star Stars are born in nebulae. Huge clouds of dust and gas collapse under gravitational forces‚ forming protostars. These young stars undergo further collapse‚ forming main sequence stars. Stars expand as they grow old. As the core runs out of hydrogen and then helium‚ the core contacts and the outer layers expand‚ cool‚ and become less bright. This is a red giant or a red super giant (depending on the initial mass of the star). It will eventually collapse and explode. Its fate

    The Life Cycles of Stars In the universe‚ there are hundreds of billions of stars. They are formed when gas and dust from space "clump" together. As the mass grows larger‚ gravity takes over and a core begins to form. The core becomes extremely dense and this compaction causes temperatures within it to rise to the point where nuclear fusion (the burning of hydrogen in a chain reaction) can begin. The heat generated by fusion can reach 24 million degrees F (Fahrenheit). "That amount of heat keeps

    Stars are born in high density areas of space called nebulas. A nebula (as defined by Dictionary.com) is: A diffuse mass of interstellar dust or gas or both‚ visible as luminous patches or areas of darkness depending on the way the mass absorbs or reflects incident radiation. The stars are born because of the gravity of the nebula acts on itself‚ condensing the gas and dust into a protostar. A protostar is a very small star. The protostar begins to heat up‚ and if it has enough matter the core

    gas that makes up the nebula is hydrogen. Sometimes nebulas can remain mostly static for billions of years. Eventually though a passing star or shock wave from a supernova will disturb the gas and dust. The dust and gas may then start to clump together‚ gravity will then clump more and more gas together‚ this is when the star starts the next part of its life cycle.      Protostar:  A protostar is when the gas has clumped together and it getting hot but has not reached what is known as critical mass

    LIFE CYCLE OF A STAR Stars are formed in nebulae‚ interstellar clouds of dust and gas (mostly hydrogen). These stellar nurseries are abundant in the arms of spiral galaxies. In these stellar nurseries‚ dense parts of these clouds undergo gravitational collapse and compress to form a rotating gas globule. The globule is cooled by emitting radio waves and infrared radiation. It is compressed by gravitational forces and also by shock waves of pressure from supernova or the hot gas released

    Life cycle of a star Every star has a life cycle just like a human or a frog except stars do it on a much larger scale. Stars start life as a massive cloud of matter and then get pulled together to create a star. But stars do not last forever most stars last for millions of years but they still end. When a stars life ends it may explode or implode to create a black hole. The reason stars even start life and end life is because of nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is a reaction where matter is forced
