In the past few decades, new technology has enabled us to answer that question by revealing nearly 3500 exoplanets in over 2600 planetary systems. Even before planets were detected, astronomers had predicted that planetary systems were likely to be byproducts of the star-formation process. In this chapter, we look at how interstellar matter is transformed into stars and planets.

Other gases include those that make breads and cakes soft, those that make drinks fizzy, and those that burn to heat many homes. Engines and refrigerators depend on the behaviors of gases, as we will see in later chapters. As we discussed in the preceding chapter, the study of heat and temperature is part of an area of physics known as thermodynamics.

Many fundamental physical quantities are vectors, including displacement, velocity, force, and electric and magnetic vector fields. Scalar products of vectors define other fundamental scalar physical quantities, such as energy. Vector products of vectors define still other fundamental vector physical quantities, such as torque and angular momentum.

The question of whether electromagnetic radiation is a particle or a wave proved to be a major enigma for scientists. While it may be hard to picture a phenomenon being both a wave and a particle, modern quantum theory tells us that is indeed how matter and energy behave at the subatomic level.
