Jeans mass- this is the minimum mass required for a gas cloud to collapse into a star.
In middle of being a gas cloud and being a star, there is a protostar phase. Here the star is not really a star but there is some gas that has been concentrated. Lots of things can happen in this phase.
- More of mass can be attracted to this protostar and form this star even bigger.
- Not more mass is attracted and the outermost layer of this cloud cools down. Cools down into rocks. Rocks that we now live on.

Protons and eletrons start to form a cloud of hydrogen. This cloud has LOADS of mass and are GIGANTIC. Due to gravity, the atoms around it get attracted to the cloud too. But there is a repulsion between atoms which gets them not into each other. These atoms of hydrogen get attracted to each othe...
Fun fact
- Our sun will last 10 billion years but a star 10 times bigger than our sun will last 20 million years only.
This is because the larger the star, the higher the gravity, the higher the amount of hydrogen to be burnt, the faster you burn, the faster you die. This shows how much imp...
Formation
Jupiter took shape when the rest of the solar system formed about 4,5 billion years ago, when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become this gas giant.
Jupiter took most of the mass left over after the formation of the Sun, ending up with more than twice the combined material of th...
