The new gravitation force at the new location is 40 N
Explanation:
The weight of the astronaut is given by the equation
(1)
where
m is the mass of the astronaut
g is the acceleration of gravity
The acceleration of gravity at a certain distance 
from the centre of the Earth is given by
where G is the gravitational constant and M is the Earth's mass. So we can rewrite eq.(1) as
When the astronaut is on the Earth's surface, 
(where R is the Earth's radius), so his weight is
Later, he moves to another location where his distance from the Earth's surface is 3 times the previous distance, so the new distance from the Earth's centre is
Therefore, the new weight is
Which means that his weight has decreased by a factor 16: therefore, the new weight is

The 2 spots after the decimal still counts toward the total the figures
Answer:
Explained in Depth.
Explanation:
It is all matter of what kind of stars are we talking about, for simplicity let's say we are talking about normal stars such as our sun.
If there is a molecular cloud that has a mass that is slightly larger than our sun then it is possible that the gravity will eventually pull together cloud into a sphere that would have enough mass to start nuclear fusion which is important to become a star.
Mass of such cloud would be 1.98x10^30Kg almost equal to the sun's mass.
All of this implies that stars are formed when there is enough mass to let gravity pull it all together into a sphere that has enough gravitational pull to start nuclear fusion inside the core.
Cathode ray tube, plumb pudding model, atoms were not hard spheres, but had smaller parts.
