Part 7 The life cycle of a star How does gravity‚ nuclear fusion and mass affect the life cycle of a different sized stars? * Stars initially form from clouds of dust and gas. The force of gravity makes the gas and dust spiral in together to form a protostar. Gravitational energy has converted into heat energy‚ so the temperature rises * When the temperature gets high enough‚ hydrogen nucli undergo thermonuclear fusion to form helium nuclei and give out massive amounts of heat and light

The PlayStation 2: Best-Selling Console of All Time What is the best-selling console of all time? Most people will tell you the Wii or the Xbox 360 or the PS3 in terms of quality and experience. But if you’re talking about sales numbers‚ if you’re talking about the biggest number in the terms of sales and if you’re talking unbiased figures‚ then the best-selling console of all time is the Sony PlayStation 2. Period. Nada. ’Nuff said. The Sony PlayStation 2 is a sixth generation console made

Stages In A Person’s Life Throughout his entire life‚ a person undergoes physical and emotional upheavals. This transition starts from birth till death. The varied experiences and skill carry us from one stage to another. Opposites like good and bad‚ independent and dependent‚ leader or follower etc. govern the life. Erik Erikson divided the human life into eight stages from birth till death‚ based on the interaction of body‚ mind and ego. Read on to know various stages in a person’s life.

Growth Phase The growth phase is when sales and profits for the new product start rising. A company will usually keep product prices about the same during the growth stage to maximize earnings. Product quality is also maintained. However‚ a company will usually expand its product distribution during the growth stage. For example‚ a consumer-products company might start selling its organic cereal in new markets‚ based on positive marketing research from consumers. Eventually‚ the organic cereal

Introduction This is the stage of low growth rate of sales as the product is newly launched in the market. Monopoly can be created‚ depending upon the efficiency and need of the product to the customers. A firm usually incurs losses rather than profit. If the product is in the new product class‚ the users may not be aware of its true potential. In order to achieve that place in the market‚ extra information about the product should be transferred to consumers through various media.The stage has the following

The Life Cycles of Stars In the universe‚ there are hundreds of billions of stars. They are formed when gas and dust from space "clump" together. As the mass grows larger‚ gravity takes over and a core begins to form. The core becomes extremely dense and this compaction causes temperatures within it to rise to the point where nuclear fusion (the burning of hydrogen in a chain reaction) can begin. The heat generated by fusion can reach 24 million degrees F (Fahrenheit). "That amount of heat keeps

the core as a gaseous shell. The gas that surrounds the core is called a "Planetary Nebula". The core that is left then becomes a "white dwarf". After the white dwarf cools down enough it stops shining and dies‚ forming a "black dwarf". Another life cycle of a star involves a star with a mass of 10 solar masses or more. These stars evolve similarly to stars of about 1 solar mass until they reach "main sequence". The star shines bright until all of its hydrogen has fused to form helium. This takes

Eventually though a passing star or shock wave from a supernova will disturb the gas and dust. The dust and gas may then start to clump together‚ gravity will then clump more and more gas together‚ this is when the star starts the next part of its life cycle. Protostar: A protostar is when the gas has clumped together and it getting hot but has not reached what is known as critical mass. At this point the gas will be hot enough to glow. but since there is still a large amount of dust su
