A nebula is huge cloud of gas and dust where new stars are born.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
A nebula is a huge cloud of gas and dust stretching across space which collapses due to gravity to form stars.
About Nebulae
- Nebulae can stretch many light years across and have enough mass to form many stars and solar systems.
- Small regions of a nebula can begin to collapse under gravity to form a star.
