Australia's latitude is south and its longitude is east. This is because Australia is located below the equator in the southern hemisphere and to the east of the Prime Meridia â¦ n in the eastern hemisphere.
A star is born when atoms of light elements are squeezed under enough pressure for their nuclei to undergo fusion. All stars are the result of a balance of forces: the force of gravity compresses atoms in interstellar gas until the fusion reactions begin.
All stars begin as dust and tiny particles in a cloud of gas called nebulae. They develop into stars by passing through several stages over a period of millions of years. Once a star is born, it emits heat, light, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, gamma rays and other forms of radiation.
