Nebula clouds are primarily made of dust and gas.
Composition of Nebulae
Nebulae, enormous clouds found in the space between stars, are often called nurseries for new stars. The term "nebula" comes from the Latin word meaning "mist, vapor, fog, smoke, exhalation." According to research, these celestial clouds consist of:
- Dust
- Basic elements like Hydrogen
- Other ionized gasses
In short, nebulae are a mixture of elements and particles that contribute to their unique appearance and function as stellar birthplaces.
