Explanation:

1. The Sun formed, probably along with other stars, within a large molecular cloud.

2. A Close binary consists of two stars that orbit each other every few days.

3. A Brown dwarf is a "star" so small in mass that its core never gets hot enough to sustain nuclear fusion reactions.

4. Most of the gas remaining from the process of star formation is swept into interstellar space by a protostellar wind.

5. As a protostar's internal temperature increases, its growing thermal pressure helps slow its contraction due to gravity.

6. Planets may form within the protostellar disk that surrounds a forming star.

7. Mass can be lost through a jet of material ejected along a protostar's axis of rotation.

8. A "star" with mass below 0.08 solar mass has its gravitational contraction halted by degeneracy pressure.

double the distance = divide strength by 4
