I'm interested in learning more about the formation and life cycle of stars and how it affects the creation of planets. Can you tell me more about that?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Of course! Stars are formed when a large cloud of gas and dust, called a nebula, collapses under its own gravity. As it collapses, the center of the cloud becomes denser and hotter until it ignites and becomes a star. The remaining gas and dust that didn't make it into the star can then coalesce into planets and other bodies orbiting the star.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "That's fascinating! How does the life cycle of a star affect the planets around it?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Well, depending on the mass of the star, it can have a big impact on any planets orbiting it.
