   After a supernova, some stars leave behind a super dense neutron star, while the heaviest stars leave a black hole. Based on our understanding of stellar evolution, the Sun will start to run out of core hydrogen in about 5 billion years. The Sun will expand, engulfing several of the inner planets, including Earth.

   Scientists think planets, including the ones in our solar system, likely start off as grains of dust smaller than the width of a human hair. They emerge from the giant, donut-shaped disk of gas and dust that circles young stars. Gravity and other forces cause material within the disk to collide. If the collision is gentle enough, the material ...

   Credit: ESO/L. Calçada. The process of stars forming starts with an initial collapse of material in a molecular cloud, trigged by gravity, and ends when hydrogen fusion ignites in the star’s core. How long this process lasts depends on the mass of the star. Stars like the Sun take a few tens of millions of years to form, while higher-mass ...

   Oct 11, 2024 · Rocky planets, like Earth, formed near the Sun, because icy and gaseous material couldn’t survive close to all that heat. Gas and icy stuff collected further away, creating the gas and ice giants. And like that, the solar system as we know it today was formed. There are still leftover remains of the early days though.

   How do stars form?

   • They emerge from the giant, donut-shaped disk of gas and dust that circles young stars. Gravity and other forces cause material within the disk to collide. If the collision is gentle enough, the material fuses, growing like rolling snowballs. Over time, dust particles combine to form pebbles, which evolve into mile-sized rocks.

   How long does it take a star to form?

   • How long this process lasts depends on the mass of the star. Stars like the Sun take a few tens of millions of years to form, while higher-mass stars are formed much more quickly and lower-mass stars take much longer. Regardless of the mass, the process of stars forming is rapid in proportion to a star’s lifetime.

   How do planets form?

   • Planets arise from the remnants inside a protoplanetary disk that encircles a nascent star. Dust and gas within such disks slowly sticks together, forming the building blocks of planets, known as planetesimals. These planetesimals go on to collide and merge over time, ultimately forming protoplanets.

   How does dust around stars form a planetary system?

   • Dust around stars contains elements such as carbon and iron which can help form planetary systems. When a star is in its forming disk, otherwise known as the T Tauri phase, it is ejecting extremely hot winds dominated by positively charged particles called protons and neutral helium atoms.

   How do stars ionize?

   • They find a complex interplay between gravity pulling material toward the young star and radiation pressure pushing it out. Gas and dust form a circumstellar disk that continually accretes onto the star. But as more material falls onto the star, it heats up and ionizes the surrounding gas.

   What happens when a planet orbits a star?

   • Over time, dust particles combine to form pebbles, which evolve into mile-sized rocks. As these planetesimals orbit their star, they clear material from their path, leaving tracks of space empty but for fine dust. At the same time, the star gobbles up nearby gas and pushes more distant material farther away.

    Astronomers call stars that are stably undergoing nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium main sequence star s. This is the longest phase of a star’s life. The star’s luminosity, size, and temperature will slowly change over millions or billions of years during this phase. Our Sun is roughly midway through its main sequence stage.
