What happens during the main sequence stage of a star's life cycle?

• The star expands and becomes a red giant.

• The star loses mass and becomes a white dwarf.

• Nuclear fusion occurs in the star's core, releasing energy and keeping the star stable.

• The star collapses under its own gravity, forming a black hole.

What is the law of universal gravitation?

• The law of universal gravitation states that every point mass repels every other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points.

• The law of universal gravitation states that every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points.

• The law of universal gravitation only applies to objects on Earth.

• The law of universal gravitation only applies to objects in space.
