Plasma
Stars are born in-
Nebulae
If a star is massive enough, it may-
Collapse.
The name of a low mass star.
Red dwarf
When a star explodes, it's materials undergo a process called-
Nucleosynthesis
The force holding stars together.
Gravity
Nebulae are typically made up of-
hydrogen gas
How many years to stars live on average.
Millions to Billions.
Our sun is a-
Average mass star
Nucleosynthesis creates this.
Heavier elements
The process that happens in the core of stars that releases energy.
Nuclear fusion
The force that clumps a nebula's hydrogen gas into a star.
Gravity
Low mass stars die from a process of-
Slowly cooling.
When high mass stars collapse they form these.
Black holes.
The absolute final stage of a star the size of our sun's life.
Black dwarf.
The center of a star.
The core
The phrase a nebula is referred to often in relation to star birth.
Stellar nursery
Before collapsing stars expand into these.
Red giants.
When a high mass star collapses, it makes a-
Supernova explosion.
Protostar.
The layer of the star we can see.
Photopshere
After forming stars begin doing this, attracting more mass.
Spinning
Stars that collapse, shed their layers and form these.
Planetary nebulae.
If a star is 3-8 times the mass of the sun, and it collapses, it will become this.
A Neutron star
The stage before black dwarf.
White dwarf.
