when tempreature and pressure are high enough, hydrogen nuclei fuse in fusion to create helium nuclei
Fusion gives out lots of energy and keeps the core hot creating a main sequence star
the force of gravity and the force of he fusion balance
when hydrogen runs out there is no more fusion so forces are not equal and gravity pulls the star into a small ball. The process can happen again but hydrogen fusion creates elements up to irons weight
a small star becomes a red giant and a big star becomes a super red giant
Super red giants shine brightly due to fusion happening more and eventually they explode in a supernova. big super red giants condense into a hot core. Very big super red giants collapse in itself causing a black hole.
Anything which orbits a planet is a satellite
asteroids are made of rock and metal
comets are made of ice and dust
the smaller the orbit of an object, the faster the orbit
Orbit is the curved pathway of one celestial object or spacecraft around another celestial object.
The futher away a galaxy, the faster its moving
red giants quickly become unstable and they get rid of their outer layers leaving a hot dense core which is a white dwarf. This then gets cooler and darker forming a black dwarf which doesn't have enough energy to emit light
gravity pulls the nebula together to form a protostar
a cloud of dust and gas is a nebula
When the universe expands, the space between galaxies is stretched not because galaxies are moving
gravity squeezes the protostar making it denser meaning there are more collissions increasing tempreature
