Question

What happens within a contracting cloud in which gravity is stronger than pressure and temperature remains constant?

Answer 1

It breaks into smaller fragments

Step-by-step explanation:

When gravity is stronger than pressure and temperature remains constant it breaks into smaller fragments.

Gravity within a contracting gas cloud becomes stronger as the gas becomes denser. Gravity can therefore overcome pressure in smaller pieces of the cloud, causing it to break apart into multiple fragments, each of which may go on to form a star.

Answer 2

It breaks into smaller fragments

Step-by-step explanation:

These star-forming clouds are characterized by bubbles and holes that carve out radiation and winds from supermassive stars. In the end, that material breaks into fragments, giving rise to new stars. "We want to know how such a violent process can lead to the death and birth of new stars"

These clusters are the largest structures in the Universe, and span hundreds to thousands of galaxies that are held together by gravity
