how to become a star?

Question

Answer 1

Start with a Big cloud of gas, aka a nebula.

areas inside the cloud are more dense than others. rotation about these pockets of mass in inevitible in the zero-friction vaccum of space. The dust clumps up and gravity pulls together the particles of dust. These form big clumps of matter, the matter near the center falls faster and faster in on itself, once sufficent pressure is achieved the star begins thermonuclear fusion. Fusing hydrogen atoms into heavier elements. The energy force balances the gravity and the star becomes relativly stable. matter near the edges of the stellar clumps most often form a large disk of material, from this material planets, moons, asteroids are formed. thats why they would be rotating around the sun in an organized disk like shape. the entire solar system was formed from one molecular cloud.

Get a drumlooper like fruityloops or acid music studio, download some quality samples, and make some trendy pop beats. It would be beneficial to learn to play at least one instrument, but note that this is optional, especially if you can dance. If not, you should take some dancing lessons and also singing lessons. Writing the songs is easy as there is no depth to pop music. If you find yourself having trouble, simply reword lines from other songs and mix them together. That is a rather popular technique used by today's stars. Don't forget the lines need to rhyme though! As record companies are being phased out, you won't even need a record contract. Just make sure you copyright your songs before making them available. And remember, it only takes 1 hit to become a star!

A star starts off as a collection of gas and dust, left over from previous nova and supernova explosion. Over time this collection of dust and gas is caused to come together by the forces of gravity, and that can take many years. It will start rotating as the gravity pulls the matter in because the gravity increases and that causes an acceleration so the pieces spiral in. This is why all planets and all stars are rotating ones. Over time a disc of matter will form around the star and the majority of the collected matter will be in the center. More than one disc may form and from them will come the planets, but we are interested in the center.

The dust cloud in the center has to be big, very big, so if the star is forming inside a collection of stars; a galaxy then there is a higher chance of it being formed. If that star is forming inside of a huge dust cloud like a nebula then the chances increase. When a star goes nova or supernova it often forms a nebula.

At the center of our system is a collapsing ball of matter. The most efficient way to pack matter is in a sphere where all the matter, in one layer, is at an equal distance from the center. So the budding star builds up matter in layers one layer of dust at a time; millions of years can pass before this finishes. Eventually the matter is thick enough that it becomes solid and it continues to grow. Assuming that no other large source of matter like a black hole is near by to disrupt the forming star it continues in its evolution, getting thicker and more solid as time passes. It will also be heating up as the friction of all this matter coming together creates heat. Some of the matter will unite with other elements forming molecules. Simple molecules that can get as complex as formaldehyde, and basic fundamental products of life, but most of the universe is hydrogen; so most of the cloud will be hydrogen. As the ball of dust gets harder and hotter the temperature rises and rises, passing from solid to gas. The gas is compressed and it to grows hotter and hotter until it passes into the stage of matter known as plasma. Now the star ignites. If the star isn’t 8-10 times the size of Jupiter then enough matter won’t collect to create a star; the larger collections become planets; gas giants, while the smaller ones can become rocky worlds like the earth or balls of ice like comets and mixed balls of matter like asteroids.

But, in the center of the cloud the majority of the gas is collecting and the temperature is increasing and increasing, at one point it ignites. Not burning as in fire, but in fusion. To start the process of fusion the temperature has to be very high, the pressure (from gravity) has to be very high and the star must be very dense. Once fusion starts the star starts to burn and glow, it can take weeks (depending on the size of the star) for the energy to escape the star; that’s how dense it is. As the star burns it is fusing hydrogen and emitting photons and solar radiation.

Now we have a real star, probably with a ring of matter forming into planets circling it. Some of those planets may get tugged apart like the planet that tried to form in the Sol system’s Asteroid Zone (between Mars and Jupiter). In places closer to the star more of the lighter gases have been absorbed by the star so small rocky worlds could form. We have notice Gas Giants very close to their parent star and too many of them have formed here so we are not totally sure on how planets form. In the case of the Sol System the four inner planets became rocky worlds, while the four outer planets became gas giants. Beyond these gas giants is the Kuiper Belt, which is like a huge and very thick asteroid zone. Some small planets; dwarf planets have formed out here creating planets like Pluto, but our attention falls back to the star at the center of the system.

The star’s huge size insures it has a massive gravity. It has grown because hot gases and plasma is moving around and takes a lot of space, but there is enough gravity to hold it all together. The size of the original cloud determines the size of the star. We rate stars on a letter scale; O, B, A, F, G, K, M. The largest stars are class O and the smallest are the tiny and cold class M. The larger and hotter stars have a shorter lifespan and as the size decreases these stars cool a bit and shrink in size. Our star Sol is a class G star on the Main Spectrum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_classification).

The sun is expected to have a live span of around 14 billion years, and we are just past middle age. When the sun ages it will be burning up its hydrogen fuel, but most of the star is hydrogen so that process goes on a very long time. Near the end of the star’s life the star runs out of hydrogen and has to start fusing the next element; helium, then lithium and so on. The process of fusion combines two hydrogen atoms to create one helium atom, with a photon and some radiation expelled, so there is a lot of helium to fuse. As the star keeps burning it fuses higher and higher elements on the periodic table (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table), while doing this the star grows in size a little, and burns a little cooler. But, when it reaches Iron (Fe, element 26) it can no longer fuse the material. At this point the star expands into a red giant; Sol would expand to the size of the Earth’s current orbit absorbing Mercury and Venus.

A larger star could explode as a nova or a supernova, but our sun will just glow a bright red and then collapse in on itself. It will finally collapse to the size of a small planet forming a white dwarf.

If the star is 10 times larger then sol then it may have enough energy in the nova to create a super collapse. This collapse can form a neutron star, but if the star is larger then it can form a black hole. Otherwise they explode into nebula with the star at the center collapsing into a white dwarf.

The cycle starts over again from the supernova or nova remnants. These are hot clouds of gas and dust that will eventually collapse to form new planets and new stars. But this cycle won’t go on forever. With each cycle some stars become white dwarfs which can’t go nova and others become black holes or neutron stars which won’t go nova either. Eventually the universe will be full of only neutron stars, black holes, and white dwarves. These stars will cool off and finally the white dwarves will burn out becoming dull spheres of degenerate matter like black holes. The black holes will evaporate and the universe will finally die, but this may not be for zillions of zillions years.

If you want to be a movie or TV star then you should not have posted your question in the astronomy section and should go to Hollywood or New York and try out for parts in what actors call “cattle calls.” Get an agent and ask them for advice.
