What is nebulae?
given that the suns lifetime is about 10 billion years, estimate the life expectancy of (A) a 0.2-solar mass, 0.01-solar luminosity red dwarf
. The radius of the nebula is about 0.401 light-years. The gas is expanding away from the star at a rate of about 37
kilometers/second
. Considering that distance = velocity x time, calculate how long ago the gas left the star if its speed has been constant the whole time. Make sure you use consistent units for time, speed, and distance. Answer in years.
