gravity makes a nebula more stable in a newly - formed star.
true
false

Explanation:

In the formation of a star, gravity causes a nebula (a cloud of gas and dust) to collapse. This collapse is the opposite of making the nebula more stable. Instead, gravity initiates the process of star - formation by pulling the material in the nebula closer together. As the material collapses, it heats up and eventually forms a protostar. So, the statement that gravity makes a nebula more stable in a newly - formed star is incorrect.

Answer:

False
