Answer:
the radiation pressure that has to push the star
Explanation:
In the stars there are two forces that act in the opposite direction.
– On the one hand there is the force of gravity that the star has to collapse
– On the other is the radiation pressure that has to push the star. This pressure comes from the radiation and velocity of the particles involved in nuclear reactions.
