What is the relationship between the color of a reflection nebula and the color of the star that illuminates it?
If our Sun were surrounded by a cloud of gas, would this cloud be an emission nebula? Why or why not?
The Orion Nebula is about 20 light-years (20 × 1018 cm) across, enclosing a roughly spherical area with a volume of 4.19 × 1057 cm3. Calculate the number of 0.1 solar mass stars that might be formed in such a nebula. Assume that the nebula has a density of 1000 atoms/cm3.
