Does a nebula turn into a white dwarf?

A nebula does not directly turn into a white dwarf. A nebula will collapse to form stars. Low to medium mass stars become white dwarfs after they die. Some are the result of a supernova and do not collapse, they merely dissipate over time. The Crab Nebula is the most prominent example of this.

What are the small dense remains of a high mass star?

The small dense remains of a high mass star are either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass of the original star. Neutron stars are formed from the core collapse of a massive star and are incredibly dense, composed mainly of neutrons. Black holes are formed when the core collapse results in a singularity with infinite density and a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape.


How stars form within a nebula?

Interstellar gas is inelastic. To compress it some event typically must occur. A supernova, for example, produces a shockwave that collapses interstellar gas, precipitating nearby star formation. Another force is gravity--we have seen stars form in the swirling wake of passing black holes. When two nebula collide, we might infer star formation across the "impact zone," much as water droplets precipitate when a moist warm air mass collides with a cooler, denser mass of air.


What Creates a planetary nebula?

A planetary nebula is created when a low- to medium-mass star reaches the end of its life cycle and sheds its outer layers of gas into space. This process exposes the hot core of the star, which emits ultraviolet radiation that causes the surrounding gas to glow and form a colorful nebula.

What name is given to the concentration of mass that formed at the center of the solar nebula and eventually became the Sun?

The name given to the concentration of mass at the center of the solar nebula that eventually formed the Sun is the protosun or solar protostar. This dense core accumulated gas and dust, triggering nuclear fusion to ignite as a star.

Where does a cycle of a star begin?

Stars usually begin their lives in stellar nurseries: (relatively) dense clouds of interstellar gases. Critical densities may be achieved when nearby stars go nova, at which time pockets in the nebula collapse under their own weight to form a protostar. If the mass of the protostar is sufficient, further gravitational collapse will cause the temperature and pressure in the core to rise to the point where hydrogen starts to fuse. At that point, a star is born.

Is planet nebula real?

The correct term is planetary nebula. Such nebulae form when a low to medium mass star dies.
