Question

? See Hint This figure explains how molecular clouds naturally fragment, resulting in star clusters such as the Pleiades. Molecular clouds are nover uniform Some regions insido the coud are more dense than hers 3 The collapsing cloud fragments into denso, star-forming cores. 2 Slightly denser regions collapse astor than their surroundings, and become more pronounced. The Sun also likely formed in a cluster, from a single molecular cloud that fragmented to form hundreds or thousands of stars at once with a full range of masses. Yet the Sun (and most other stars) is currently a single star, with no sign of the siblings it formed with. What likely happened to the other stars in the cluster the Sun was born in? Choose one: A. They moved away from the Sun over the past 4.5 billion years. B. They are too faint to detect. O C. They all died long ago. D. They probably never existed. The Sun is a rare case of a star that formed by itself

Explanation / Answer

The other stars in the cluster the sun was born in was moved away from sun over the past 4.5 billion years. Now the scientist were discovered the other siblings of sun like HD 162826 located 110 light years away in the constellation hercules. it can not visible to the naked eye but can can be seen by lower power binaculars, near bright star vega. all the other options are incorrect.
