When Inside a star the force of gravity is balanced by the?
It is balanced by radiation pressure, and gas pressure.
Inside a star the force of gravity is balanced by?
If the force of gravity crushing a star in weren't balanced, it would collapse. The outward-pushing force counteracting gravity is the energy produced in nuclear fusion, when the heat and pressure inside of stars smashes atoms together.
Are gravity and pressure balanced or not balanced?
In the case of a star (that is not actually going nova or supernova) they are balanced.
What is the force that keep a main sequence star from blowing apart?
The force of gravity. This is the only significant inner force in any star.
What is the force opisit of gravity?
There is no force opposite to gravity (except in a star where the light pressure from the fusion in the core holds the star up against gravity).
What is the inward force that holds a star together?
Gravity, the force of attraction between all masses in the universe, is the inward force that holds a star together.
When a star's inward gravity and outward pressure are balance the star is said to be?
Hydrostatic equilibrium occurs when compression due to gravity is balanced by a pressure gradient which creates a pressure gradient force in the opposite direction. The balance of these two forces is known as the hydrostatic balance.
Why does the force that pulls you towards the center of a planet or star?
Gravity.
What is the inward force acting on a star?
Gravity.
What force creates a star?
Gravity is the force that causes stars to be created
What is the force that pulls you towards a planet or star?
gravity
What does the equilibrium between the outward pressures of radiation and the force gravity do?
"While the star can produce energy, that keeps the star in balance - it keeps the star from collapsing. By the way, another outward force is the gas pressure, but that, by itself, is not enough to counteract the force of gravity in the case of a star."
