Australia's latitude is south and its longitude is east. This is because Australia is located below the equator in the southern hemisphere and to the east of the Prime Meridia â¦ n in the eastern hemisphere.
A star is born when atoms of light elements are squeezed under enough pressure for their nuclei to undergo fusion. All stars are the result of a balance of forces: the force of gravity compresses atoms in interstellar gas until the fusion reactions begin.
The birth of a star can typically occur due to the death of another star. There are huge dark clouds made of of gas and dust in space. These are called nebulas. When a nearby star explodes, a shockwave travels through the dark cloud. As the cloud collapses, energy is released, which causes it to heat up.
