Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Star-Forming Nebula These knots contain sufficient mass that the gas and dust can begin to collapse from gravitational attraction. As it collapses, pressure from gravity causes the material at the center to heat up, creating a protostar. One day, this core becomes hot enough to ignite fusion and a star is born.
Detailed explanation-2: -A nebula is a cloud of dust and gas, usually tens to hundreds of light years across. A galaxy is much larger-usually thousands to hundreds of thousands of light years across. Nebulae are one of the many things that galaxies are made of, along with stars, black holes, cosmic dust, dark matter and much more.
