Answer:

Radiation pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

Radiation pressure is gotten from the light source. The radiation pressure has a set mass limit of 150 solar masses. Any mass from 150 solar masses or below supports the formation of the stars.

However when the mass exceeds 150 solar masses the force of gravity is unable to hold the masses together and the excess mass

Is usually blown away after which the required mass is then used in the formation.
