A star forms from a large cloud of gas and dust. What is that cloud of gas and dust called?

Answer 1

The proper answer is Interstellar Gas Cloud .

Here is what I dug up from our observatory data for you (I'm an Astronomer )

Stars are born in cold interstellar clouds like the Orion Nebula and the Eagle Nebula. In these stellar nurseries, dense regions undergo gravitational collapse to form a rotating gas globule. As the globule collapses, the temperature and pressure increase and it spins faster. This causes the globule to have a central core and a surrounding flattened disk of dust. The central core becomes a star, while the disk may coalesce into planets and asteroids. The process of collapse takes between 10,000 and 1,000,000 years

Answer 2

The large cloud is called a molecular nebula. As one part of it tends towards becoming a star, it is called a solar nebula before it is properly a star.

Answer 3

Nebulas are large luminous clouds of gas in outer space. which form stars

Answer 4

there first is a small particle in a planetary nebula and then it pulls in a smaller particle and that pulls in a smaller particle which pulls in another and the same thing happens all over again. eventually all the particles are a big lump which begins to form into a planet

Answer 5

Particles

Answer 6

A nebula

Answer 7
