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.
Star formation. Star formation is the process by which dense regions within molecular clouds in interstellar space, sometimes referred to as stellar nurseries or star-forming regions, fuse to form stars.
