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.
Describe the nebular hypothesis. 1. A diffuse, slowing rotating cloud begind to contract due to gravity 2. As a result of contraction and rotation, a flat, rapidly rotating disk forms with the matter concentrated at the venter that will become the proto-Sun. 3. The photo sun is so compressed and so hot that nuclear fusion begins. 4. Mass turns into energy and like an H-bomb, an explosion occurs. 5.
