A star's Zero Age Main Sequence (ZAMS) radius R, luminosity L, and effective temperature Teff depend primarily on the star's mass. These parameters do evolve somewhat over time, however, while the star still remains on the main sequence. Discuss in what direction each of these parameters evolves, and explain why this occurs. By physical in your explanation. How did this evolution affect our own solar system, if at all?
What processes determine the distribution of physical conditions within star-forming regions, and why does star formation occur in only a small  fraction of the available gas?
Outline the process of star formation, including all relevant factors that influence the outcome.
