Devise and execute.?

Question

A problem solving strategy that will yield an explanation for how a star is able to resist collapsing under its own gravitational attraction.

Answer 1

Apparently the conversion of mass into nuclear energy pits the balance of gravity against the energy of converting the material to expanding nuclear engery. Just slowed down, not resisted fully. The nuclear energy blows up the "baloon" just like heating the air in a balloon to make it expand. Once the source of heated air is gone, the balloon collapses.
