Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space. Some nebulae (more than one nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dying star, such as a supernova. Other nebulae are regions where new stars are beginning to form.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrogen and Helium are two of the dominant gases found in space. While hydrogen and helium make up most of the gases in interstellar space, tiny traces of other elements such as carbon, oxygen and iron also exist.

Detailed explanation-3: -Space clouds are more commonly referred to as interstellar clouds. Interstellar clouds are vast clumps of dust, gas, and plasma, held together by gravity within galaxies and interstellar medium.

Detailed explanation-4: -A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust and other ionized gases resulting from the explosion of a star.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.

Detailed explanation-6: -The glowing clouds that you see in pictures from space are called emission nebulas. A emission nebula is a cloud of hot, glowing cloud of gas and dust in space. These nebulas absorb the light of nearby stars and reach very high temperatures. The high temperature causes them to glow.
