    Radiation pressure

    Explanation:

    Radiation pressure is gotten from the light source. The radiation pressure has a set mass limit of 150 solar masses. Any mass from 150 solar masses or below supports the formation of the stars.

    However when the mass exceeds 150 solar masses the force of gravity is unable to hold the masses together and the excess mass

    Is usually blown away after which the required mass is then used in the formation.

    radiation pressure

    Explanation:

    This is the type of pressure that can be applied on any surface as a result of the exchange of momentum that exists between the object and the electromagnetic field. Radiation pressure generates small amount of forces and cannot be easily noticed although such forces are essential in certain physical processes.

    Example is momentum of light or electromagnetic radiation which as any wavelength, in which this wavelength can be absorbed, reflected by matter on any scale.
