suppose a planetary nebula is 2.8 pc in diameter, and doppler shifts in its spectrum show that the planetary nebula is 33 km/s. how old is the planetary nebula? 1 pc= 3.1 ×10^13 km and 1 yr= 3.2 × 10^7s
Explain what makes the planetary nebula glow and what makes the supernova remnant glow. Which of these two kinds of gas clouds continues to glow for a longer time and why?
