Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gas in interstellar space is not uniformly distributed but rather concentrated in interstellar clouds or clumps. These clouds can range from large molecular clouds, where stars are formed, to small and dense knots of gas. Within these clouds, the gas can also be distributed unevenly, with denser regions where stars are likely to form.
