Nebula is a name, tell me for what and where the name came from.?

Question

its our 10th Planet.

Answer 1

A nebula (Latin: "mist"; pl. nebulae or nebulæ, with ligature) is an interstellar cloud of dust, gas and plasma. Originally nebula was a general name for any extended astronomical object, including galaxies beyond the Milky Way (some examples of the older usage survive; for example, the Andromeda Galaxy is sometimes referred to as the Andromeda Nebula).


[edit] Astrophysics of nebulae
H II regions are the birthplace of stars. They are formed when very diffuse molecular clouds begin to collapse under their own gravity, often due to the influence of a nearby supernova explosion. The cloud collapses and fragments, forming sometimes hundreds of new stars. The newly-formed stars ionize the surrounding gas to produce an emission nebula.

Other nebulae are formed by the death of stars; a star that undergoes the transition to a white dwarf blows off its outer layer to form a planetary nebula. Novae and supernovae can also create nebulae known as nova remnants and supernova remnants respectively. The nebula for the solar system is called the solar nebula

Answer 2

Nebula is not a planet. Nebula is Latin for cloud. A nebula is an interstellar cloud of gas and dust. There are two types of nebulae: planetary and emission nebulae. A planetary nebula is formed by a white dwarf star. The star collapses and all that is left is the inner core of the star. The core gives of gas that forms the nebula. The emission nebula is an area where stars are formed. These nebulae look green when viewed with the eye.

The Astrophysists say that "They are formed when very diffuse molecular clouds begin to collapse under their own gravity, often due to the influence of a nearby supernova explosion. The cloud collapses and fragments, forming sometimes hundreds of new stars. The newly-formed stars ionize the surrounding gas to produce an emission nebula.

Answer 4

"Nebula" (plural is "nebulae") is Latin for "cloud", and nebulae are called that because they look like cloudy patches in a telescope. (Very few of them are visible to the unaided eye.) Some of them really _are_ "clouds" -- massive agglomerations of dust in our own galaxy, like the great nebula in Orion. Others are island universes like our own, although it was not until the 100-inch telescope at Mout Palomar went into operation less than a century ago that this was proved when photographs managed to resolve the blurs into separate stars.

Answer 5

No I don't think Nebula has officially been called a planet by NASA. Check for details on their website.
