What happens when a cloud of gas and dust begins to collapse under gravity? Itrotates faster due to angular momentum conservation It stops rotating completely It expands outward instead It forms multiple small stars instantly

When a cloud of gas and dust begins to collapse under gravity, it rotates faster due to angular momentum conservation. As the cloud collapses, it conserves its angular momentum, causing it to spin faster. This process is known as the conservation of angular momentum. The other options are incorrect. The cloud does not stop rotating completely, it does not expand outward instead, and it does not form multiple small stars instantly.
