what are nebulas
cloud of dust and gas
how is protostar formed
gravity pulls dust and gas together, temperature increase due to more particles collide.
how is main sequence star made
when the pressure and gravity are balanced out
how are red giant or red supergiant made
when hydrogen runs out, making an imbalance force of the pressure and gravity making planet smaller but hotter and denser. This creates energy that is greater than the gravitational pull making it expand. Red Gian forms by a small star. Red supergaint forms by a large star.
what does red giant lead to
white dwarf
how is white dwarf formed
when there is imbalance forces, resulting to eject its outer layer.
What does a red supergiant soon form
supernova
how is a supernova formed
when helium fuses together into iron. However iron cannot release any energy so there is an imbalance, gravity is greater than the pressure theevenutally it will explode.
what can a supernova lead to
neutron star and black hole
how is a neutron star formed
when the supernova explodes, the outer layers of the star eject. Leaving a dense core called a neutron star.
how is a black hole formed
when the large star gets crushed by the massive force of gravity
